This interdisciplinary course bridges STEM and the humanities by treating Spanish and English as equal vehicles for scientific knowledge. Students engage in a living laboratory to translate advanced neuroscience into accessible, bilingual communication. Through partnerships with Holyoke DualLanguage classrooms, MHC student mentors facilitate hands-on workshops on anatomy, plasticity, microscopy, and neural art to enact language justice and foster representation in STEM. This course prepares students for professional work in multilingual contexts while strengthening local community bonds.
