Why does one study another language and culture, particularly Spanish in Tennessee? Bearing in mind that many of our communities have a growing number of Spanish-speaking neighbors, it is our belief that learning Spanish and understanding more fully the cultures that Spanish expresses constitutes an essential component in strengthening our collective roles as socially responsible citizens. To that end, our Spanish 494 service-learning class is excited about participating in the Smart Communities Initiative, an opportunity for our students to put into practice their classroom instruction in ways which will enable them to move from 鈥渢hinking ABOUT鈥� Hispanics and their culture to 鈥渢hinking WITH鈥� Hispanics. This kind of dialogue among equals is a keystone to building together communities in a more socially inclusive and participatory manner. That鈥檚 why we study, teach, and learn Spanish!
