sample courses:
Through an exploration of films, songs, short stories, poetry, comics, and digital culture, students will gain insight into the cultural history of various regions of the Hispanic World. Taking the multilayered tension between power and resistance as a conceptual framework, students will survey four key cultural geographies: the colonial space, the national space, the migrant space, and the natural space. Each cultural geography maps the oppositional forces that have shaped various regions of the Hispanic World since Western colonial expansion.
An introduction to the study of the Spanish language as a science, this course focuses on the main linguistic subsystems: the sound system, the formation and use of words, and the formation and structure of sentences.
