Key Concepts and Approaches in Latinx Studies

1 Unit · Undergraduate

This course examines a set of central concepts and approaches ? including colonialism, transnationalism, mestizaje, and Latinidades ? that are foundational to the interdisciplinary field of Latinx Studies. Students will engage historical and contemporary debates around how these terms and frameworks have shaped the field and thinking about race, class, citizenship, gender, and sexuality, among other constructs of social difference.
