Research Experience in Latin American, Caribbean, and Latinx Studies

Catalog description

This course is designed to build undergraduate research skills by exposing students to methods from both traditional disciplines (e.g., Anthropology, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, etc.) as well as transdisciplinary fields of study (e.g., Latin America Studies, Latinx Studies, Africana Studies, Globalization Studies, Languages Literatures and Cultures, etc.) Students will design a research proposal in a topic of interest relevant to Latin American, Caribbean, or Latinx Studies, but they will not be carrying out the actual research itself for this course. Students will apply information literacy and critical thinking skills, become familiar with different research methodologies, and learn how to develop, write, and professionally present components of an academic research proposal that is topically relevant to Latin American, Caribbean, and Latinx Studies. Prerequisite(s): junior or senior standing.
