SPAN 350 - Latinx Seminar

3 Hour(s)

What does “Latinx” mean and how is it different from “Latino/a”? Who can be considered Latin? Do all Latinx people speak Spanish? Do they share the same traditions, cultural heritage, linguistic influences? Is “Latinx” an ethnicity? Are all Latinx people immigrants? This course will answer all these questions through a critical feminist lens and an intersectional approach by offering a selection of Latinx authors and artists who, in their works, deal with crucial processes of self-identity. The students will learn essential terminology pertaining to cultural studies, linguistics, gender studies, race and ethnicity, and migration studies.
