Current Special Topics
Borders, Human Mobility, and Migratory Experiences across the Spanish-speaking World
Conducted in Spanish, this special-topics course will focus on borders, human mobility, and migratory experiences across the Spanish-speaking world. Immigration has recently become one of the main concerns of politicians, the media, human rights organizations, and nationalist groups. This course will look at immigration through two perspectives: migrants’ experiences as related in personal narratives, testimonies, and accounts of border crossing, and their representation in film and media. We will also examine the creation and proliferation of national bordering regimes throughout the Americas, and how both the place and meaning of borders have changed over time, as well as how bordering practices have impacted peoples’ lives and communities in a radical way.
Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes:
