Digital Pedagogy & Colonial Latin-Luso America

Session Submission Type: LASA Intersection Panel

Abstract

This panel will center on the use of digital technologies and digitized special collections in colonial Latin-Luso American studies courses (undergraduate and graduate). Presenters will discuss the impact of open access resources in teaching about the Portuguese Inquisition and early modern indigenous cultures, classroom-community collaborations centered on digital collections, and the use of digital tools and methodologies to examine, visualize, and interpret special collections. The overarching goal for these teaching experiences is for students to harness the potential of digital technologies, feel empowered to participate in scholarly conversations, and create meaningful public scholarship for or in collaboration with non-university communities.
