Latina/o Studies 2022-23

Latina and Latino Studies is an interdisciplinary, comparative, and relational field of study that examines the histories, representations, and experiences of Latinas, Latinos, and Latinxs in the United States. Latinas, Latinos, and Latinxs include peoples who come from or whose ancestors come from Latin America and the Spanish-speaking Caribbean. The program seeks to cover the widest range of experiences, encompassing Mexican-Americans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, and Dominicans, as well as migrations from a wide variety of Central and South American countries. Courses, most of which use a comparative and relational approach, seek to provide students with the tools to continue their work in areas of their particular interest. Focusing on a diverse group with a long history in the United States, which is also one of the fastest-growing populations in the contemporary era, provides an opportunity to study complex dynamics globally and within the context of the United States. The program examines topics such as the political and economic causes of migration, the impact of globalization, economic incorporation, racialization, the formation and reformulations of identities and communities, religious and spiritual practices, the uses of urban spaces, inter-ethnic relations, artistic expression, aesthetics, and visual and popular culture.
