    Description
    This course introduces students to the interdisciplinary approach of Chicanx and Latinx Studies and its major concepts and analyses. By relying on social justice and anti-racist tradition, the course examines the histories, the current issues, and the unique lived experiences of Chicanx and Latinx Americans along with the intersection of racial and ethnic identities with other forms of social identity such as class, gender, sexuality, religion, indigeneity, and immigration status. The relationships between distinct Chicanx and Latinx communities and identities, historical legacies, contemporary issues, and their impact, and socio-political and economic institutions and their effects on the Chicanx and Latinx communities are analyzed. The values, leadership, activism, and contributions of Chicanx and Latinx peoples in the United States are also examined.
