Canisius University faculty member Dr. Richard D. Reitsma was invited by the Executive Secretary of the Association of Jesuit Universities in Latin America -AUSJAL to write an article and craft a poster on LGBTQIA+ issues in Jesuit Pedagogy for the Symposium on Educational Innovation in October 2023 at the Javeriana University in Cali, Colombia.
Dr. Reitsma attended the symposium, which was conducted alongside the meeting of rectors and vice-rectors as they worked on the new strategic plan for the network of Latin American Jesuit Universities. Dr. Reitsma’s article has now been published in the Carta de AUSJAL, which informs the strategic plans of the AUSJAL system. Click here to read the article (written in Spanish).
Although AUSJAL is separate from AJCU, Dr. Reitsma collaborates extensively with many of the universities in Latin America as part of the Virtual Dual Immersion program, short-term study abroad programs, research and graduate teaching, and other activities.
