CFP: Cultures Across Curriculum Conference (8/15/05; 11/5/05)

The University of Iowa, in collaboration with Binghamton University, will host a conference on Cultures and Languages Across the Curriculum, November 5 - 6, 2005, at the University of Iowa in Iowa City. The conference will examine opportunities to expand the role of culture in LAC initiatives and will consider alternative models that foster the acquisition of cross-cultural competencies. This conference will also consider other LAC issues that have not yet been adequately discussed or analyzed, including: 1) How does LAC relate to comparative literature, cultural studies, and area studies? 2) How does LAC fit into the international education missions of U.S. government and industry (the "expert" model vs. the "metropolitan migrant" model)? 3) How does LAC relate to content-based language instruction and the development of new content-based FL textbooks and technology? 4) How can we better link LAC to K-12 foreign language and cross-cultural education as well as to post-se!
