CMLL Open House

Thanks to everyone who joined us for our open house today! It was wonderful to see familiar faces and to meet new members of our community. Thank you for sharing ideas about your ongoing projects and also for inspiring future CMLL activities. We’ll be updating our events page with the complete details about all upcoming events this semester, so check back on our site for that information.

And, given the feedback we received today, we will find another date or two this semester to convene for a combination of sharing work-in-progress, data from ongoing projects, celebrating achievements, and enjoying snacks!

Looking forward to seeing everyone soon — and perhaps as soon as next week, when some of us will be participating in the 3rd Annual Anthropology and Education Conference at TC.

CMLL Welcomes Autumn

The weather is cooling, but our upcoming slate of events and activities is heating up!

We hope to see many of you at our Open House on October 16, 2018, from 1:00 – 2:30 in 422 Thompson. We want to share more about the history of the center, and also want to hear how can support ongoing language and literacy efforts at the College. Join us and help set an agenda for the Center’s future!

Later this semester, our Associate Director, Nicholas Limerick, will be involved in coordinating and chairing the 3rd Annual Anthropology and Education Conference sponsored by the Programs in Anthropology at Teachers College.

We are also excited to give you a preview of one of our speakers this autumn — none other than CMLL co-founder Professor Ofelia Garcia! We are thrilled to have Prof. Garcia returning to Teachers College to give a colloquium and engage with the TC community. Her talk is scheduled for Monday, November 5th at 5:00pm. Additional details will be posted soon.

Finally, as we look ahead to the future of CMLL, your thoughts and participation will be vital in helping us grow our work. In the past, we’ve coordinated study groups, workshops, and data analysis session in response to interest from across our community. So please be in touch if you aren’t able to join us for the Open House and let us know about your work, whether you’d be interested in sharing it as part of a brownbag series, and if have recommendations for our Speaker Series.
