The Cutting Edge in Latino Studies Research: Perspectives from Notre Dame

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

Notre Dame has been an incubator for state-of-the-art research in the interdisciplinary field of Latino Studies for several decades. This seminar delves deeply into newer research produced by scholars affiliated with the Institute for Latino Studies, the unit on campus that has fostered much of this work. Each week we will read recent research from an ILS-affiliated scholar and, most weeks, meet with the scholars themselves to discuss their research trajectories and current areas of research. Students will read and respond to research in a wide array of fields, prepare questions for visiting scholars, interview them in class, and respond to selected works in writing.
