Latina and Latino Studies, Minor
This minor in Latina and Latino Studies offers students across the University an opportunity to learn about the diverse histories, cultures, politics, migration patterns, and other aspects of Latina/o populations in the United States. Classes will be offered on:
- Latino history;
- the artistic achievements of Latinas/os in popular culture, literature, theatre, film, and television;
- the migratory flows of Latina/o populations;
- education;
- other issues related to language and identity; and
- family issues.
These courses demonstrate that studying Latina/o social formations is a critical component of understanding the social fabric of the U.S. as well as the U.S. presence in Latin America and the complex phenomenon of globalization. Although the emphasis of Latina/o Studies is on the U.S., the role of Latina/o immigration within wider shifts related to globalization requires an understanding of Mexico, Central and South America, and the Spanish-speaking Caribbean.
