Establishes the foundation of research and intellectual pursuits in Latin American studies and Latina/o/e/x studies; engages both of these fields, with emphasis on when, where, and how they can converge; examines key concepts and major theoretical frameworks, ranging from colonialism and Eurocentrism, to intersectionality and patriarchy, to authoritarism and democracy. The course also builds on the foundation of lower-division courses in LALS. Prior or concurrent enrollment in an introductory LALS course is highly recommended.
