Carroll Conquest and Diana Zawil, both MAT in Art Education candidates, have been
selected to participate in an upcoming trip to
Cuba sponsored by the Tufts University Latino Center. Since 2002, the Latino Center has offered students from all three Tufts campuses the
rare opportunity to enter Cuba—with a United
States
government issued license—to explore various aspects of Cuban culture for
educational research purposes.
Conquest
and Zawil will focus on art education curriculum research with a special
emphasis on contemporary Cuban women artists. Traveling from January
4–15, 2008,
they plan to study and interview artists such as Jacqueline and Yamilis Brito,
among others. The unique experiences Conquest and Zawil will have during this
once-in-a-lifetime trip are sure to have a lasting influence on their future as
art educators.
