The Caribbean islands are home to some of the most vibrant, multiethnic cultural landscapes in the world. In fact, the Caribbean was global centuries before the term globalization came into vogue. But the historical traumas of conquest, slavery and colonialism continue to fuel contemporary struggles against neocolonial structures that serve tourism, “free” trade, and a worldwide culture of consumption. In this course, our objective is to explore the ways in which Caribbean literature, art and performance offer powerful tools of decolonization in the struggle to protect cultural sovereignty as well as ecological diversity. To that end, we will learn how Caribbean writers, intellectuals, artists, and musicians confront the various challenges that islands of the region face, including political domination, racism, poverty, sexism, toxicity and transmigration. The course will challenge commonly-held notions of the Caribbean as merely a site for leisure and pleasure. This course is taught in English and seeks to build skills in critical thinking and argumentative writing. As such, it is discussion-based and prioritizes student-led learning. Reading expectations are moderate (50-60 pages per week).

This course is designed for heritage learners of Spanish: those who grew up speaking Spanish at home, with extended families and in their communities. These students are comfortable speaking Spanish, but their literacy in it was not necessarily developed by formal schooling. Leaning on all of their previous experience with the language, the course seeks to enrich and complement the students' linguistic repertoire by further developing their communicative abilities, both verbal and written, especially in an academic context. Class content will focus on Latin America and the U.S. Latinx population. Students will gain increased confidence in the language and will strengthen their identity as bilinguals and abilities to interact with a more diverse group of speakers, pursue higher-level courses and/or apply this knowledge in their professional endeavors, inside or outside the United States. This course is the equivalent to SPAN 305 for those interested in the Spanish major or minor. (Students cannot earn credit for both 305 and 306). Prerequisite(s): Course has no explicit prerequisite but is designed for those who grew up speaking Spanish at home, with extended families and in their communities.

To this end, they created female protagonists of great strength and integrity.

Living an identity that is multipositional is a familiar reality for many people in the 21st century. The seventeenth century Hispanic world reveals surprisingly diverse and complex societies in which literature-and sometimes life itself-provided a space for trying on different social clothes, so to speak, in an exploration of early modern identity. This course will allow students to enjoy prose, drama, poetry and historiography from both Spain and Spanish America and to witness how writers from both sides of the Atlantic were pushing aesthetic and societal limits of religion, ethnicity and gender in their writing. We view Baroque art from Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, and colonial Mexico and Peru, and read some pertinent critical perspectives that will help enrich our readings of the literature. To bring the plays to life, students will select fragments of dramas to "rescript" and perform for their classmates. This course satisfies the Area 1 requirement for the Spanish major. Prerequisite(s): SPAN 307 or consent of the instructor.

The border region between the United States and Mexico exists as both a physical space and an ideological construct. This seminar uses literary and filmic narratives to explore issues of identity, opportunity, and violence that arise from this contested space. How does the border shape individual and cultural identities? In what ways does the border create opportunities for both advancement and exploitation? How do these works engage conflicts and tensions of race, nationalism, gender, and power? The course will include writers and filmmakers from both countries, and we will read original texts both in Spanish and English. This course satisfies the Area 2 requirement for the Spanish major. Prerequisite(s): SPAN 308 or consent of the instructor.
