    Description
    Introduction to Latinx Studies is an interdisciplinary survey of the field of Latinx Studies. This course will provide students with a historical and contemporary overview of the political, economic, social and cultural issues that shape various Latina/o/x communities in the United States. Using a comparative framework, this course will help students identify the hemispheric and transnational forces that have shaped Latinx groups. In addition, this course will analyze the experiences of Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Dominicans, and Central Americans in the United States using the lenses of race, class, gender, sexuality, and migration. Special attention will also be given to the forms of resistance, cultural expressions, and identity formations among Latinx Americans.
