Course Catalog Description:
This course investigates the prevailing frameworks or methods of analysis and teaching that have shaped Chicana/o/x studies, the critical investigation of Mexican Americans and the complex systems that render the US structurally inseparable from Mexico. These linkages imply that Mexico and the U.S. are part of the Am�ricas. They also suggest that Chicana/o/x studies is related to Latinx studies, a connection we explore this semester. The course begins with an overview of differences between ethnic studies and area studies, levels of multicultural curriculum, and the significance of Chicana/o/x studies. It explores the major theories that have informed analysis and methods: experiential knowledge, cultural nationalism, internal colonialism, hegemony and counter-hegemony, coloniality of power, transnationalism, globalization, Chicana feminisms, intersectionality, oppositional consciousness, heteropatriarchy, abjection, racialization, anti-Black racism and Afro-Latinx studies, structural analysis, and queer theory, decolonial methods, Critical Race Theory, and Critical Latinx Indigeneities. Students learn about and apply concepts for an effective Capstone project in their senior year.
