The
Center of Southwest Studies will host a talk, “Education
and its Uses in the Southwest: Historical Perspectives” on Wednesday, January
30th at 6:00 pm in the Lyceum Room.
Join Center director Dr. Jay
Harrison at this first event in the Education in the Southwest series
for a look at how Southwestern peoples pursued education over the centuries
leading to the present. The presentation provides background for the current
state of education in the region, and will kick off the Center’s focus on
regional educational investments, needs, and potential changes in the coming
years. Dr. Harrison will consider early history of American peoples, European
influences, and the formalization of education since the expansion of the
United States in the Southwest.
