COLLEGE OF HUMANITIES
Dr. Ben Coates (Modern Languages and Linguistics Depart- ment) published a book in February — titled “El Teatro Representado en Lengua Española en Los Ángeles - 2000- 2010: Una Reconstrucción de la Vida Escénica” — which explores the impact that Spanish language theater had in Los Angeles during the first decade of the 21st century. While over half of the population of the city has a Hispanic heritage, not all of them speak Spanish. Given these circumstances, the study seeks to answer if there is a public that desires to see theater performed in Spanish in Los Angeles, if the performances are made accessible for the non-Spanish-speaking community, and how the performances are received by critics.
Te Modern Languages and Linguistics Department led six NGU students on a study abroad experience to Honduras this past summer. Some students took classes for credit, while others spent time involving themselves in the community. Biology major Aleena Goff (expected ’18), for example, volun- teered in a medical clinic in Copán Ruinas. Other students taught English in an elementary school in Ostumán, and at least one student received a job offer. Over the course of the five weeks, the students lived with local families and had plenty of opportunities for excursions such as climbing a volcano, snorkeling, exploring Mayan ruins, wandering through a tropical bird sanctu- ary, and riding horseback in the mountains.
Dr. Rachel Roberts (English Department) presented at the College English Association Annual Conference in Hilton Head, SC, in April on “‘A Fair and Delectable Island’: Islands as Sites of Entrapment, Refuge, and Nationalism in the Romances of Margaret Tyler and Mary Wroth.”
