Groton Faculty Share Insights into Modern India at Harvard Conference
Groton School faculty members Monika Andersson and Tom Lamont spoke at a conference on India at Harvard University's South Asia Institute on Friday, May 13.
Ms. Andersson, a photography teacher, was on a panel that discussed the challenges and benefits of taking American students on experiential and service learning trips to India. She has led three Groton Global Education trips to India over the past seven years and has been to the country on other occasions.
Mr. Lamont, a history teacher, co-presented a workshop on regionalism in India, which focused on the cultural, economic, and political differences that characterize different regions of India and South Asia. Mr. Lamont teaches a course on modern India at Groton and has visited India several times, including a five-month stay during his sabbatical.
The conference was organized by Educators for Teaching India and South Asia (EFTISA), an organization that promotes the teaching of India and South Asia at the high school and middle school levels in the United States. Groton School is a co-sponsor of EFTISA, along with Phillips Academy (Andover) and Winsor School.
