This is part 2 of our interview with Dr. Pamela Cappas-Toro, Associate Professor of World Languages and Cultures and Cofounder and Codirector of the Community Education Project (CEP) at Stetson.

Last time, Pamela gave us some important background on the roots, function, and vision of the CEP; she described the curricular considerations for CEP students and faculty participants, and she offered valuable insight into how teachers can apply socially just assessment and classroom management practices across student populations.

This segment of our conversation starts with how Pamela bridges her research interests in literature, culture studies, Latin American History, and postcolonial discourse, with her teaching practices. We then move onto her own riveting educational history and career trajectory, before concluding with some discussion on how she keeps her students engaged in social justice initiatives beyond their time at Stetson.
