Hispanic Heritage Month presentation: Carlos Cañas Dinarte

The Mississippi State School of Arts and Sciences’ Institute for the Humanities and the IDEA (Inclusion, Variety, Fairness and Consciousness) committee will cohost Carlos Cañas Dinarte, the director suplente of the Academia de Historia (Nationwide Academy of Historical past) of El Salvador for a particular presentation on Hispanic Heritage Month titled “Luis de Moscoso y Alvarado: desde San Miguel de la Frontera hasta el río Mississippi (Luis de Moscoso y Alvarado: From San Miguel de la Frontera to the Mississippi River).”

One of the crucial vital expeditions within the South was led by Hernando de Soto and his second in command Luis de Moscoso y Alvarado. Whereas historical past textbooks have usually negated Spanish presence throughout the sixteenth century, Dinarte’s discuss goals to ascertain connections between these expeditions and Spanish involvement in Central America.

The in-person dialogue is scheduled for 3 p.m. Monday [Oct. 17] in Outdated Important Tutorial Heart’s Room 2180. Company may also go to https://www.fb.com/msu.humanities.institute at the moment for a digital choice.
