The program Spanish for the Professions: Community Engagement provides a focused, high-impact intercultural learning experience, and infuses social justice concepts, values and respect for diverse cultures and heritages in professional settings. The program incorporates several Humanities-based modes of inquiry (Analysis and Critique, Creative Process and Production, and Historical and Social Inquiry) through its focus on language and culture in social and historic context. It bridges the Humanities with our professional programs, including our departments of Education, Social Work, and Psychology and Applied Therapies. Spanish for the Professions: Community Engagement offers students the best training for critical knowledge and skills because it encourages them to understand fully the power and complexities of human stories, how they shape our thinking, and how they move people to action as engaged local and global citizens. The minor provides students with a strong foundation to understand their professional world by communicating with justice, empathy, and anti-racist practices.
