Latino/Latin American Studies
Interdisciplinary
Program Director: Brian Larkin
The Latino/Latin American Studies minor is an
interdisciplinary curriculum that explores the histories and cultures
of the peoples of South America, Mexico, Central America, and the
Caribbean. The minor is also designed to give students an opportunity
to develop an understanding of the diverse groups that comprise the
U.S. Latino populations. The program offers a variety of courses, some
focusing on particular national groups or specific academic
disciplines, and others organized around comparative topics or issues.
The purpose is to encourage in-depth study as well as to provide
guidance for a general inquiry into the problem of cultural difference
and its social and political implications, within both the Americas
and the Caribbean. Students will take a common introductory course and
will complete their program with a common capstone.
