- Professor Dube brought a lot of points that I would like bring in to my Spanish class. For example, he mentioned that during the Ming Dynasty, silver extracted from Mexican mines. I am very interested to make connections between Asia and Latin America and Spain, and it seems international trade and economics seem to be a good jump off point. As I was looking at the porcelain in the slides, I noticed that a lot of it is similar to talavera, a porcelain ware that is produced in central Mexico, most notably in Mexico City and Puebla. It would be a great research project for my students to investigate how porcelain made its way to Mexico and how pottery designs from China influenced talavera styles.
