Thanks to a new grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, Missouri S&T students will explore the cultures of Latin American countries they visit and earn course credit. The $100,000 NEH Humanities Connection grant will allow faculty to create four courses related to Latin American studies:
- History of Science in Latin America, to be taught by Dr. Kathleen Sheppard, assistant professor of history
- Sustainable Foods in Latin American Literature, to be taught by Dr. Kathryn Dolan, assistant professor of English
- Sustainability as Trope and Theme in Latin America, to be taught by Dr. Kathryn Northcut, professor English and technical communication and co-director of technical communication programs
- Contemporary Latin America, to be taught by Dr. Jorge Porcel, associate professor of Spanish
