Advanced Spanish Service-Learning: Campus Workers' Health and Advocacy Outreach

Catalog description

Students will use advanced Spanish, focusing on medical and health-related language, through the exploration of various topics related to the health and well-being of members of our Stanford service-workers community. Course themes include personal and emotional well-being - such as physical and mental health, stress management, and self-care - as well as family dynamics, including healthy family relationships and parent-child communication. Students will also examine preventive health topics, such as cardiovascular and reproductive health, as well as issues of community health and access to medical resources. These will be explored within the context of migration and other social circumstances, with attention to how structural factors shape individual and community well-being. To fulfill service-learning requirements, and earn units for volunteer hours outside class time, students will enroll concurrently in the companion course HUMRTS 110. Additionally, students may collaborate with the teaching team to coordinate with Stanford's maintenance & janitorial services, UG2, to negotiate schedules and develop partnerships. Taught entirely in Spanish. This is a Cardinal Course certified by the Haas Center for Public Service.
