    • BORDER THEORIES, TRANSNATIONALISM & IM/MIGRANT EDUCATION
    CI 590-BT (54375)
    Professor Luz A. Murillo
    Spring 2016, Mondays, 4:00-6:50 p.m.
    This doctoral seminar approaches the study of transnational and im/migrant education from the lens of border theory in order to understand how immigrants use language and literacy in and beyond contexts of formal school and across political, geographic, and temporal boundaries. Borders between languages, modalities of literacy, and academic disciplines will also be considered. Readings include works by Gloria Anzaldúa, Walter Mignolo, Arturo Escobar, Maria Braidotti, Nestor García Canclini, Jan Blommaert, and others.
    Students will develop a case study of a transnational/immigrant learner as means of applying border theories presented in the course. Doctoral students and advanced masters students from diverse language, cultural, and disciplinary backgrounds will enrich our collective learning of how transnationalism and migration are changing education and schools in the U.S. and around the world.


    • SPAN 528. LITERATURE, CULTURAL POLITICS, AND DEMOCRACY IN SPAIN (1982-2014)

    Prof. L. Elena Delgado. R: 2-4 pm, G-20 Foreign Languages Building. ldelgado@illinois.edu

    In this course we will analyze the role that literature and the arts have played in Spain, from the consolidation of consensual democracy in the 1980s (the period of “democratic normalization”) to the recent  economic and social crisis that has shaken the regime of 1976. We will start by exploring theoretically some key issues that will be examined throughout the semester: the ideas of democratic consensus and dissent; the relationship between aesthetics and politics; the impact of cultural policies on cultural production; the role that artistic practices can play in advancing projects of social justice and radical democracy. Along those lines, we will read works by J. Rancière, Habermas, C. Mouffe, R. Esposito, Laval and Dardot, Martin-Barbero, S. Federici, among others. The course will then focus on the type of national imaginary constructed in canonical works of the democratic period, as well as on recent alternative, often collaborative, cultural practices whose goal is also a different conceptualization of “the common”, unrelated to a specific patrimony or national brand. While the course will be focused on Spanish cultural production, its broader implications lead to a type of inquiry that is trans-national and interdisciplinary (final papers can be adapted to a number of fields and interests).The class will be taught in Spanish.

    CONFERENCES/CALL FOR PAPERS

    ·         THE POWER OF MEMORY: PERPSECTIVES FROM LATIN AMERICA

    June 10-12, 2016
    The University of Tokyo, Komaba Campus, Tokyo, JAPAN
    An increasing number of scholars in the humanities and the social sciences are dealing with the concept of “memory.” How we remember the past has far-reaching implications for politics, society, and culture. Scholars now recognize that memory is not only a personal faculty but rather is a key process in social stability and change. For instance, ethnic minorities unify and mobilize by way of the histories they recount of their roots. Establishing the true history of civil wars or military regimes is the work not only of historians but also of those pursuing reconciliation. In this sense, memory is power. A principal goal of this conference is to explore issues of memory with a special emphasis on Latin America, which has always been at the center global historical developments such as colonialism, nationalism, and neoliberalism. By what mechanisms does collective memory gain power? What are the differences and commonalities among various practices of collective remembering in Latin America? What are the best methods or theoretical tools for comprehending memory’s role in social and political processes?
    Proposal deadline:  January 31, 2016 (24:00 GMT)

    • GSE 2016 SUMMER TOUR OF CHILE 

    July 17th- July 30th.

    WINDS OF CHANGE: EDUCATIONAL REFORM, STUDENT MOVEMENTS AND PUBLIC EDUCATION IN CHILE
    Currently in Chile, the educational system is going through a period of profound challenges and changes that have implications for all modern educational systems in the 21st century.  Spurred on by the 2011 student movement, educational reform has been placed on the front burner of public consciousness and focus in the country. Young people took to the streets for seven months and they demanded more social justice in education.  There demands have reverberated beyond Chile and into the international arena.  Our study tour of Chile will examine the impact of the students’ demands for change, the new educational environment in Chile, and the structural reforms now being introduced by the new Michelle Bachelet administration.  At stake are the central planks of what was once deemed the “most neoliberal, market-oriented educational system in the world.” Proposed education reforms such as ending profit making in primary and secondary education, the elimination of tuition fee copayments to enter schools that receive public subsidies and tax-based funds, the development of a new teacher professional career as well as the reexamination of standardized accountability in the national evaluation system (SIMCE) have all garnered profound public attention and debate. These issues of educational change have profound significance not only for the Chileans, but also for all global citizens participating in 21st century educational systems that are now being challenged to balance the last few decades’ emphasis on excellence and quality with the powerful resurgence of demands for access and equity.
    This year’s GSE study abroad course will take place from July 17th through July 30th. This four-credit course will examine the current educational system in Chile in relation to its history, economy, media environment and political movements. We will be hosted by two important Chilean universities, in two major cities of the country, giving to this study tour a broad perspective about the higher educational system, the diversity of cities on the coast and of the country as well of different perspectives about these educational changes and challenges. Each of these universities has provided us access to leading Chilean scholars, experts and stakeholders. Participants will have the remarkable opportunity to enter into a meaningful dialogue with these academics and policy intellectuals as we actively engage with the material that we will be studying. We will meet with The University of Chile’s Student Federation (FECH), Alto al SIMCE academic and political activists, the National Coordination of Secondary Education (CONES) and Educación 2020 to discuss the current educational movement and policy changes that are being fought for and implemented at this time. Also, we will be visiting schools in these different cities. We will take the opportunity to talk with parents, teachers and principals of rural and urban areas. With these activities, students will experience the diversity and complexity of the public educational system in Chile. Weekend excursions to areas around Santiago and Valparaíso have been planned with the aim of giving participants the opportunity to visit a rich sample of the marvelous cultural and historical sites that exist in these different locations of Chile.
    Pre-Tour classes begin April 7th 2016 online
