Course Catalog Description:
Introduction to sociological analysis of theoretical/methodological approaches to Chicano/a and Latina/o communities. Socioeconomic conditions, education, cultural change, the family, gender relations, political experiences. Theories, issues, methods of sociological research. Debates regarding qualitative/quantitative research methods.
Class Description:
Chicana and Chicano Contemporary Society will focus on the current social, cultural and political issues effecting Chicana/o and Latina/o communities. We will direct our attention to five overarching themes: 1) Education, 2) Immigration 3) Labor and Economics, 4) Environmental Justice, and 5) Reproductive Rights and Health Care. The course seeks to address national discourses, as well as localized issues that are specific to the Midwest Chicana/o experience. Taking seriously the claims made by Chicana feminists and social identity theory scholars, we will approach the course through an intersectionality lens, taking into account how race, class, genders, sexualities, and other identities are formed and impact Chicana/os consciousness and lived experiences. Course materials will draw from social science research, literature (novels, poetry, etc.), films, and performance/visual art.
