LCS 200 - Foundations in Latin America and the Caribbean
3-0-3
This entry-level course engages in a wide-ranging interdisciplinary discussion of Latin America and the Caribbean with an emphasis on the 20th and 21st centuries. The course begins with an overview of “Latin America” and the “Caribbean” as constructed concepts. It then explores several themes central to an understanding of the region’s heterogenous realities, including colonialism, nationhood, race, language, and culture. This is a discussion-based course that values discovery of and identification with Latin America and the Caribbean. Course content will include scholarly readings, digital media, art, maps, literature, historical documents and other materials depending on the course’s particular focus for the semester.
