The Tuesday Faculty Lunch Series welcomes Melissa Huerta, associate professor of modern languages, presenting a lecture titled “Adventures in teatrolandia, or How I Spent my Summer.” This summer, through support from a National Endowment for the Humanities grant, Huerta traveled to Buenos Aires, Argentina to study Latin American Theater. The seminar allowed participants from across the country to attend more than a dozen plays, converse with Argentine theater-makers, and, as a group, engage in multi-disciplinary discussions regarding our work as scholars of theater, practitioners, and theater enthusiasts. Huerta will focus on the impact the NEH summer seminar had on her understanding of contemporary theater in the Americas, her approaches to teaching Latin-American theater at Denison, and her current and future research projects. The theatrical, cultural, and linguistic immersion Huerta received will not only benefit her research, but more importantly, it will inform her teaching philosophies, anchored in student-centered, collective and embodied work in a cross-cultural and linguistic classroom.
