CHLS 1112 - Caminos y Puentes: Chicano Studies Fundamentals (3 Cr.) Race, Power, and Justice US

Chicano & Latino Studies (10955) TCLA - College of Liberal Arts

Course description

This seminar investigates the prevailing frameworks that have shaped Chicano studies, the critical investigation of Mexican Americans, and the complex systems that render the US structurally inseparable from Mexico. We explore the connection between Chicano studies and Latino studies. Students will learn the major theories, methods, and approaches to research in communities, such as intersectionality, experiential knowledge, structural analysis, counter-storytelling, transnationalism, globalization, Chicana feminisms, decolonial methods, activism, racialization, anti-Black racism, and Afro-Latino studies, and queer studies. Students learn about and apply concepts for an effective Capstone project in their senior year.
