Don’t miss “Cajas de Cartón” and other engaging Conversational courses this Winter!

This term we’re excited to offer an Intermediate Book Seminar in which students will read the collection of short stories “Cajas de Cartón”  (in English “The Circuit: Stories from the Life of a Migrant Child”), an autobiographical work by Spanish professor and chicano author Francisco Jiménez. This course will be taught by Tierra instructor Fernando Rojas-Galván, who himself grew up in a family of migrant farm workers, offering a personal perspective that will bring the stories to life and help students attain a deep understanding of the material and context of the readings.
