The University of Arizona was awarded a $137,266 Project Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Promotion of the Humanities Teaching and Learning Resources and Curriculum Development program (CFDA 45.162). This grant supports the revision of the required "Readings in the Literary Genres" course for Spanish majors and minors to explore the theme of life as a road or journey across four geo-cultural modules. The revised course aims to increase retention of Hispanic and Latino students in the College of Humanities programs, currently at 36%, by using evidence-based teaching strategies. The project will expose approximately 1,000 students per year to the cultural heritage of the Luso-Hispanic world through an examination of the arts and literature. The grant is effective from March 1, 2025 through February 28, 2026.
