Congratulations to Professors Sarah Hoiland, assistant professor in the Behavioral and Social Sciences department and Tere Martinez, adjunct lecturer in the Humanities department, for being awarded a grant from Bringing Theory to Practice funded by the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U). Below is a brief description of the purpose of the grant.
The Drama in Education (DiE) Training Institute at Hostos Community College and DiE Workshops at Patterson Houses will train faculty, teachers, community-based organization directors, and community leaders in New York City on how to use DiE as an effective teaching tool and as a mechanism to deepen the relationship between drama educators and community partners and effect community change. The DiE Institute will amplify the initial work of the Bridging Theory to Practice-sponsored Community Action for Dialogue, Reflection, and Energy (CADRE) Project and Professor Tere Martínez’s subsequent educational theatre program Roots and Action/ Raíces y Acción.
