SPAN 325 - 001: Hispanic/Latinx Los Angeles and New York City

This course will engage students in a comparative, interdisciplinary analysis of cultural production by Hispanics/Latinxs in Los Angeles and New York City. Drawing on recent theories on the city and globalization, this course will focus on several areas of study: Hispanic/Latinx migration, settlement and reconstruction of identities/communities, cultural differences and hybridization, gender and ethnic diversity, and political activism. Main objectives of this course include fostering comparative critical thinking, both individually and in groups, learning how to write interdisciplinary research papers, and promoting ethical commitment in the study of cultural production. Additionally, this course will allow students to develop unique collaborative skills that are much needed in today’s working environments.
