- Course Catalog Description:
- Historical/cultural knowledge on the complex/multi-layered relationship that Latinos have to the U.S., their country of origin. Influence of social, cultural, and political dynamics on Latino identity, politics, and sense of belonging in the U.S. Cultural citizenship.
- Class Description:
- This course introduces you to foundational Chicana/o/x and Latina/o/x Studies perspectives, theories, and concepts. We explore the history and culture of Chicana/o/xs and Latina/o/xs to discuss contemporary Latina/o/x experiences in the United States. Theoretically, we approach
this course from an intersectional lens taking into consideration race, class, gender, and sexuality. Our emphasis on history highlights how culture, politics, and identities change over time. We focus on the concept of cultural citizenship to explore Latina/o/x heterogeneity, social practices,
community formation, and consciousness. We will unpack our social locations in relationship to privilege and power as well as Latina/o/x histories and identities. Course texts reflect the rich diversity of Latina/o/x scholarship and art. We draw from social science and humanities research, literature, visual/performance art, and film. Our grounding in both history and culture invites us to study simultaneously multiple time periods in a variety of ways. In order to deepen your understanding of Latina/o/x history you will have opportunities throughout the semester to engage with primary sources by conducting archival research at the Anderson Library Collections. In addition to history, our focus on culture propels us to consider Latina/o rituals, beliefs, language, art, etc. Overall, our goal is for you to gain critical knowledge of Latina/o/x Studies foundations and to become more competent cultural citizens.
