Catalog

Introduction to Latina/o/x Studies (3) Latinxs (people with roots in Latin America) have lived and worked in what is now the United States for at least 400 years. This course examines cultural productions and critical texts that consider structural inequality as it affects Latinx peoples in the U.S. Through reading a series of case studies, including novels, essays, and films, and other creative media, students consider how diverse Latinx communities resist racialization and imagine more socially just futures.
