This course will review, through the prism of history, sociology, gender, anthropology, religion, education, art, and culture, the many dimensions of this culture group. Class discussion, readings, audio visuals, guest speakers, and class lectures will combine to give the student an understanding of the history, culture, experience, and heritage of Chicanas/os/Hispanics in the United States. We will learn to apply this information in the context of current issues. Class information is designed to be used as tools that can be applied in other disciplines so that the student can more effectively work or interact with this population. The student will have ample opportunity to discuss and critically analyze the ideas presented in the classroom, and open forum. Applications to real life practicalities are very much emphasized.
