Administer and return End of the Course Student Evaluations to the respective Dean From the 16th century up to the present day, the American Southwest has existed as a geographical location of constant social and cultural change. Prior to Europeans making contact with the western hemisphere, the American Southwest was the homeland of numerous Indigenous communities, each with their own distinct culture. Centuries of cultural interactions and clashes between the Indigenous population, Europeans, Mexicans, and Euroamericans transformed the Southwest into a region of great cultural diversity. During the modern era, the Southwest region shifted into the international spotlight due to issues concerning immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border, labor strife, and the role both play in the American political system. This course will examine the interactions between American Indians, Spaniards, Mexicans, and Euroamericans, and it will emphasize themes and issues concerning colonialism, race and ethnicity, sexuality and gender, and violence. One of the main goals of this course is to determine whether the Southwest as a region has a history based upon accommodation or conflict. Other duties as assigned.
