UW-Parkside's First Annual Spanish Colloquium |
The Spanish Program of the Department of Literatures and Languages at UW-Parkside held its first annual colloquium in the Black Box Theatre on April 21, as part of the 10th Anniversary of the Rita celebration. The conference, with this year's theme of “Tertulia: Una noche bohemia," was a wonderful showcase of the brilliant work happening in Spanish classrooms at UW-Parkside.
Students presented original research with topics, ranging from femicide in Latin America to Chicanx literature. Art Professor Lisa Marie Barber gave an insightful talk on Mexican American identity and her art, followed by a clay-bowl making demonstration with attendees. Spanish professors Dr. Rusquin Chádez Ibarra and Dr. Sarah Piña, along with Dr. Cristina Campos, from the University of Michigan, presented current research as well. Students from Professor Chádez's class presented the classic Spanish play El sà de las niñas (The Maiden's Consent).
The day culminated with the second official ceremony of Sigma Delta Pi, the National Collegiate Hispanic Honor Society, which established its first chapter Alpha Beta Mu at UW-Parkside last fall. The conference concluded with a jovial reception celebrating the new initiates and the day as a whole, along with faculty, family, and friends. It was truly a dynamic day of culture, effective creation and circulation of knowledge, as well as conviviality.

Simple, timeless, and elegant are the words experts have used to describe the work of Gyo Obata, the internationally renowned architect whose St. Louis architecture firm designed UW-Parkside’s graceful campus complex and supervised the construction of Parkside’s Library Learning Center, known as Wyllie Hall, along with Greenquist Hall. Mr. Obata passed away on March 8, 2022. He was 99.

UW-Parkside Students Partner with Racine Arts Council for Quilt Barns Project |
|
On a cold afternoon in March, the students in Dr. Caitlin Curtis’ GIS and Communities class
piled into a van and headed west of the Interstate in Racine County to tour a few of the barns they had been researching for a community-based learning project. The class is partnering with the Racine Arts Council (RAC) to create an interactive, narrative-driven map of the Quilts on Barns in the county. Kathi Wilson, President of the RAC, led Professor Curtis and the students to three farms: Tulip Basket, Connecting the Arts, and Wisconsin Heartland. Owners at two of the locations took the students through the barns telling them about the history of the farms and how they got involved in the Quilts on Barns project.
