SOC-3720: Latina/o/x Studies: the Culture & the Politics

Welcome to an experience that will leave you with more questions than answers. That is a goal, and in our jornada we will learn through a (re)mix of the social sciences and humanities, as well as interdisciplinary areas that represent different regions, countries and nationalities of focus. On the social sciences side, we will discuss this interdisciplinary area through politics and political sociology. On the humanities side, we will experience poetry, music, storytelling, and creative writing. This is a “W” (writing emphasis) class in which students will develop tools to improve their academic writing. *The term “Latina/o/x Studies” is a reflection of dialogues taking place in the interdisciplinary area relating to the presence of Latin American nationalities in the United States and elsewhere. It is a blend of two strands of thinking: “Latina/o Studies” and “Latinx Studies,” There is agreement on the need to shift away from the male “Latino” toward gender-inclusive forms.
