Introduction to Chicanx/Latine Studies
Academic Noncredit

This course offers historical and contemporary insights into Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Dominican, Central American, and South American people in the United States. Using an intersectional Latinidad theoretical perspective, students examine how race, ethnicity, indigeneity, citizenship, gender, class, religiosity, language, sexuality, and other identities shape daily life, institutions, and society. Topics covered include but are not limited to settler colonialism, socioeconomic status, immigration, Latinx belonging, Latine feminisms, intersectionality, racism, discrimination, civil rights social movements, coalition, and community. This course also offers opportunities to discuss comparative phenomenon in the US and globally.

This noncredit class meets with a regular University of Utah credit course.
