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

Semester Hours: 3

Periodically

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. Readings for this course will be either in English or in Spanish, but all class discussions will be conducted in Spanish.

Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes:
none
