The Summer Session of the Hispanic Scholar’s Program takes place each June at a different sponsoring school institution. This two-week in-person intensive gathers students from across the world each summer to take accredited graduate-level courses led by leading scholars in Latinx/Hispanic studies in a theological education environment that centers Latinx methods, pedagogies, and stories.
Classes in history, theology, sociology, liturgy, ethics and more are taught to a majority Latinx student body in a way that centers the intellectual and pedagogical traditions of the Latinx community. This mode of education emphasizes community while ensuring there is an explicit connection between the “mind and the heart.” At the end of two weeks students return to their institutions not just with three graduate credits, but with a community of scholars, mentors, and friends with whom they can continue building on the experiences they gained at the Summer Session.
