This message is sent from the Office of the Provost on behalf of the Center for Teaching and Learning Excellence to all UHD Faculty
Greetings UHD Faculty,
I am excited to share an opportunity for you to participate in a special program called Discovering Afro-Latino Heritage: A Reflective Story Map Project to Enhance Student Belongingness and Learning, and earn a $500 stipend. The goal is to create digital, interactive Story Map(s) that illustrate and articulate the origin of Afro-Latinos through the remixing of engaging maps, photos, recordings, narratives, and other forms of digital materials available from the Library of Congress. To accomplish this, we are inviting you to create content, or integrate creation of content, for these Story Map(s) into activities in your Spring 2024 target courses. To learn more and submit a proposal, please follow the link below to the Call for Proposals document, and/or proposal webform:
Call for Proposals (Attached and at the following link): UHD CTLE_Afro-Latino Story Map Project_CFP_Spring 2024.pdf
Submit a Proposal (Due January 12, 2024): Call for Proposals: Afro-Latino Story Maps
Not sure what a project proposal might include? While there are many possibilities, here is one example. Students in your course might be assigned to research the Library of Congress Digital Collection called Occupational Folklife Project and highlight Afro-Latinos and their occupations in the United States. Students could perhaps focus on occupations they are interested in exploring more or origin stories that they identify with.
If you are interested in participating, but want to discuss your proposal ideas before submitting, please feel free to contact Dr. Raquel Chiquillo ([email protected]), who is the faculty project director and subject matter expert.
Please let me know if you have any questions about the proposal process. We realize that the timeline is tight with the winter break upon us, so please submit your ideas, even if you feel your proposal is not fully developed. Awardees will receive consultation support to finalize project details.
Best Regards,
Greg
