SPAN 125 - (LT)Being Hispanic/Latino in the United States Today

Semester Hours: 3

The course offers a comprehensive view of the ever-increasing and vibrant Hispanic and Latino communities in the United States today and, more specifically, because of proximity in the New York metropolitan area. We will read theoretical essays and a variety of texts (printed literature, blogs, popular music, artistic interventions) that address issues such as race, ethnicity, class, gender, migration, border, and agency. We will use the city as the site for our reading and research. We will also assess the weight of Hispanic and Latino communities in policymaking, consumer markets, language, and cultural production in the US today. This course, as all courses with the SPAN prefix, is taught in Spanish.
