Introduces students to the interdisciplinary field of Latin American Studies as well as the individuals, cultures, histories, politics, economics, and geographies that distinguish the region and its nations. Students learn different disciplinary approaches to analyzing Latin America (e.g. art history, political science, literature, sociology, and history) through course content, readings, and instruction as the course is rotated among affiliated faculty each semester offered. The interdisciplinary framework provides a number of different ways to think about Latin American society and challenges us to recognize the linkages and tensions that define the region, explored through topics such as social and economic variations, democracy and dictatorship, slavery and race relations, urban and rural societies, (im)migrations, gender and sexuality, citizenship and resistance, popular culture, and the Church and social justice. Exploring the major themes and disciplinary studies of Latin America help us integrate ideas about the region and its communities.
