The course examines the ways in which U.S. Latino and Caribbean populations have been and continue to be shaped by the legacies of colonialism, globalization, cultural, and political changes, in historical and contemporary contexts, and in global and local settings. The course provides an expressly interdisciplinary environment for learning, drawing widely on academic traditions in the social sciences and the humanities. Students gain tools to critically analyze and engage our world and to enact change in their communities and professions.  Position Status Part Time Posting Number 24FA0490 Posting Open Date 05/13/2024 Posting Close Date 06/14/2024
