LTST-451 Theories and Methods in Latina/o/x Studies (3)


As an approach, rather than a discipline, Latina/o/x Studies is fundamentally interdisciplinary, comprising cultural studies and historical, ethnographic, qualitative, and quantitative methods, among others. This course exposes students to a range of interdisciplinary methodologies and theories grounded in the study of race and ethnicity. Issues considered include immigration, race and racial formation, diasporic histories, the politics of the x in Latinx, Afro- and Indigenous Latinxs, settler colonialism, and literary and cultural theories of identity.
