Westminster Spanish Professor Attends Foreign Language Conference

Dr. Camila Bari López, assistant professor of Spanish at Westminster College, recently made a presentation at the 55th Annual Kentucky Foreign Language Conference in Lexington.

"In my presentation on the novel The Book of Lamentations by Mexican writer Rosario Castellanos, I used Power Point technology to make a visual demonstration of my proposal of reading this and other Latin American novels with an urbanistic perspective," said López.  "Some colleagues found that the visual presentation of images was critical to understanding my theses that Spanish conquerors and colonizers is still a source of confrontation between indigenous people and Spanish descendants."

"Writing on Latin American novels that I read with my students in my Literature and Culture of Latin America' course is my way of deepening the contents and creating more insightful activities for them," continued López.

Lopez was invited to organize a forum for the next conference in 2003.
