    Description
    This course explores the many facets of the Latina/o experience in the U.S. and the specific histories and cultures that mark the trajectories of individual Hispanic sub-ethnic groups and their cultural representations. The class strives to help students see the world outside of the Anglo cultural lens, thus offering students a gateway to a broader worldview, particularly exploring the contributions of the Hispanic culture to the U.S. The class addresses topics such as immigration, culture, linguistic rights, educational issues, and various representations of the arts (literature, music, cinema, visual expressions). Taught in English. Portions of instruction may be offered online; may also be offered fully online.
