Southern Vermont College
April 9, 2009, 2:30-3:30 pm, in the Everett Theater, at Southern Vermont College in Bennington, VT, Dr. Barry Jackson, Professor of Languages at Rivier College, will be presenting a video he made with his colleagues in the Cuban National Theatre Company. Jackson and his colleagues undertook this project recently in Cuba. The video was created specifically for SVC, as an example of how a partnership with another country might be arranged around similar interests (one of those areas of interest will be sustainable agriculture) and, thus, help a college to internationalize its campus. Dr. Jackson has offered presentations about how a language program should be constructed on the idea of teaching language in the context of culture.
