Class description
CHSTU 498 "Latina/o Identity, Migration and Citizenship" Much writing on citizenship focuses on legal-political aspects seldom examining how this category of difference is located in everyday processes of people's lives. This course seeks to examine the concept and social construction of citizen at the intersections of race, gender and migration. The course will focus on how these social processes shape Latina/o identity so that we can better understand the inclusion and exclusion of Latino immigrants in the U.S. and the consequential impact on social, economic, political and cultural life. This is an upper-division lecture course.
