Tara Kingsley is a graduate student with the Center for Latin American Studies at Vanderbilt University.

My research topic will be Intercultural bilingual education in Guatemala. I would like to start a page on intercultural bilingual education in Guatemala. The Wikipedia page for Guatemala has very brief sections on education and language, and the Languages of Guatemala page lacks information on language education programs.
