The health fair was paired this year with Fiesta 2012, the fair celebrated the migrant workers in Adams County, and also provided an opportunity to workers with free health services. Services included flu shots and blood pressure screenings from Wellspan, guidance on raising children with disabilities, and general health information from the American Cancer Society.   Spanish for the Health Professions is a yearly course that was developed by Dickinson College Professor Wendell Smith, Assistant Professor of Spanish. The course provides students opportunities to develop and utilize their Spanish language skills in health care settings. Coursework educates students in appropriate vocabulary for medical settings, an understanding of the importance of language and culture to medicine, and the problems that arise from a cultural divide in healthcare delivery.  The class discusses language, public policy, anthropology, and sociology as such disciplines are related to cross-cultural healthcare. Students are required to serve once a week in a setting where healthcare is being delivered to Spanish-speakers.  Many students accompany nurse practitioners from Keystone Migrant Health to labor camps for migrant fruit workers to register clients for health service at Keystone’s clinic in Gettysburg.  Students assist with filling out forms and paperwork for Spanish-speaking clients.  Bilingual students may serve at the Wellspan Health Connect van in Biglerville as receptionists and medical interpreters and help with paperwork and medical interpreting during patient appointments.       more photos

IN MEMORIAM

 

Enrique Martínez-Vidal, Professor Emeritus of Romance

Languages and Literatures

The members of the Department of Spanish & Portuguese and former students deeply lament the recent death of a beloved colleague. Professor Martínez-Vidal's distinguished career at Dickinson spanned four decades. Enrique was instrumental in helping guide our department's growth and evolution. He loved the idea of being a "team player," an ideal he fulfilled with both grace and enthusiasm. His kindness, warmth, and vast knowledge on an endless array of topics are acutely missed.

On Thursday, December 8th, the Spanish Club hosted a celebration of the traditional Latin-American and Spanish holiday Las Posada. The event included tortilla española, ponche, and other traditional Spanish and Mexican Christmas foods in addition to Spanish Christmas villancicos (or carols) and piñatas.

Posadas are parties that begin on December 16 and culminate on Christmas Eve, the 24th. Posada means "inn" in English and the parties celebrate Mary and Joseph's search for shelter to have their baby. The celebrations last nine days, each day representing a month of Mary's pregnancy. Groups of people go around to different houses and sing a special villancico, or carol, asking for posada until they reach the house where the celebration will be held. At these parties, people enjoy time with their families, drink hot punch, and pass out small bags of goodies that contain things like peanuts, nuts, cookies, oranges, and other traditional candy. During this time there are also special star piñatas with seven point representing the seven sins. The base of the piñata is a clay pot and the breaking of these piñatas signifies the destruction of the seven sins.

El Dia de los Muertos is a traditional Mexican holiday honoring both death and the cycle of life.

Associate Professor of Spanish & Portuguese Mark Aldrich prepared the popular Spanish dish on-site using an oversized paellera (paella pan). Paella is made in every region of Spain, using just about any kind of ingredient that goes well with rice. Every region has its own version of paella.  It may contain chicken, pork, shellfish, fish, eel, squid, beans, peas, artichokes or peppers. Saffron, the spice that also turns the rice a wonderful golden color is an essential part of the dish.

For the last decade, Mexico, and especially its border regions, has suffered skyrocketing murder rates and a breakdown in public safety driven by a surge in drug-fueled organized crime.  The "Merida Initiative," first crafted in 2008, was an attempt by the United States to help its neighbor, but the violence today continues unabated.  Johnson, the senior U.S. government official responsible for this “initiative” from its inception until January 2011, will address how it was crafted, what it has delivered, and the prospects for bringing down Mexico's high rates of murder and violence.
