360° Info Session: Nicaragua: Places and Names
Join Pedro Marenco and Brook Lillehaugen to learn about their Spring 360° exploring intersections between language, landscape, and history.
Applications due April 5 at noon.
This cluster focuses on the rich geologic and linguistic history and present of Nicaragua to explore the ongoing interconnectedness between landscape and language. Central to this cluster is the theme that a place must be explored through a variety of lenses to be more fully understood. In geology, the places of Central America are often discussed because of the active tectonism that affects that region but rarely cover how geology and people intersect to produce the full history of a place. Likewise, the languages spoken in Nicaragua and those used to name (the places of) Nicaragua offer an additional view into the history of colonialism and empire and the ongoing power dynamics resulting from this.
