Latin American Studies is a conceptually driven course that aims to provide a broad framework for students to gain a historical and contemporary understanding of the individuals, groups, events, trends and ideas surrounding Latino peoples living in the United States, Mexico, Central America, South America and the Caribbean. The course should provide students with an opportunity to engage with the social, economic and political activities of Latin America and Latino Americans in a way that allows them to make deep connections across the content. The historical content of this course should be taught with relevance to contemporary issues in order to ensure a deeper understanding for students.
