Quechua Student Alliance Meeting

Saturday, November 14, 2015 - 9:00am

Greenfield Intercultural Center at the University of Pennsylvania
3708 Chestnut Street
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

As the first of its type in the United States, this event aims to promote an exchange of ideas between college students and professors who share an interest and passion for Quechua language and Andean culture. We are working towards creating a space for students to become dynamic leaders in the academic context where there is an increasing interest in Indigenous languages and cultures of the Americas.

We want to foster the relations needed to build a strong network and community of Quechua students at the university level. The Quechua Student Alliance Meeting will have the format of a one-day gathering with cultural activities, lectures, games, debates and dialogue.

The Quechua Penn Initiative is promoting this meeting in collaboration with the NYU Center for Latin American and Caribbean studies (CLACS) and the UMass Amherst Spanish and Portuguese Program.

Who can attend?

Speakers of all levels (college students and faculty) are invited to attend this unique event. Please, fill out the registration form by October 25, 2015. No previous knowledge of Quechua is required, we only need your enthusiasm and good disposition.

Those interested may attend as individuals but we encourage students and their faculty to represent their institutions by attending as a delegation. (all participants, even if attending with a delegation, are required to fill out an individual registration form).
