Corroborative Teaching: Record/ando Traditions of the Ancestors
Proposal abstract :
“Record/ando” plays with both noting our learning in an effort to create better pedagogy (record), remembering (recordando), and going from one place to another (ando of andar). “Cor” finds it etymology in heart. This project will bring together scholars and practitioners to explore teaching, learning, and learning teaching through an emphasis on Días de muertos/Days of the Dead. Participants will build upon previous work on these days by exploring how community entities outside of the university engage this season. Through Learning Journeys, the group will travel to learn from practitioners and community members at the National Museum of Mexican Art and the Museum of the American Latino at the Smithsonian as well as to the Dayton Metro Library. All of these entities have sustained history and experience with teaching about Days of the Dead. The outcome of this project will be a digital record and a community partnership plan.
Learning Abstract :
The participants of this project teach from the heart in what the University of Dayton as a Marianist University emphasizes in educating the whole person.While smaller collaborations among these five team members have occurred over the last decade in various ways, a deep bringing together of the expertise of each of the team members, what we are calling corroborative teaching, has not occurred. All five members of this project team have been teaching at the University of Dayton from the heart about Días de muertos, Days of the Dead, the season of remembrance as understood through Mexican and Mexican American traditions for multiple years.
The root word "cor" finds its etymological meaning in "heart" and "together." Strengthening together (literal etymology of corroborate "cor" = "heart" and "together" "robur" = "strengthen") our learning teaching, teaching, and learning based in an element of the Characteristics of Marianist Universities of educating the whole person stands at the core of this project. Corroborative teaching brings together sources across disciplines and various parts of a university to support and amplify the acts of teaching, learning, and learning teaching through an emphasis on Días de muertos/Days of the Dead. Participants will build upon work they have been engaging individually regarding this season of the year by exploring how community entities outside of the university engage this season.
Record/ando signifies a twofold play of keeping track of our learning in an effort to create better
