ENG 125 Literatures of Identity: Latinx Literature (HU, MI)
Dr. Alexander Lalama
Latinas/os/xs have diverse histories, cultures, and identities, yet many people in the U.S. assume a commonality among Latina/o/x groups. What links exist between these various Latina/o/x groups? What are the main differences or conflicts between them, or between Latinxs and other racial and ethnic groups? How do constructions of Latina/o/x identities contend with the diversity of experiences? In this course, we will read and analyze works by Latinx authors from the 20th and 21st century. The course will cover major themes and issues that inform the works of diverse Latinx authors. Topics may include immigration, nationality, language, Indigeneity, diaspora, the history and effects of Spanish colonization in the Americas, language, the role of family, transnationalism, and more.
ETE 280 Exploring Diversity (GP/WC)
Dr. Juan Rios Vega
Have you considered how social identities such as race, class, gender, ethnicity, and sexuality shape PreK-16 students’ educational experiences in the United States? Why some students have more challenges and barriers to navigate and to succeed in schools? How issues of inequality and inequity are still perpetuated and seen as “normal” by mainstream society? In this dialogic course, students will learn and unlearn from a critical social justice lens how social labels intersect various systems of oppression in education and society. Although this course was initially created for future teachers, students from other colleges and departments, who took this course, always suggest that ETE280 should be taken by all students on campus. By the end of this course, students will be able to share with the use of the arts, some of the topics discussed in class.
WLS 306 Spain Interim: A Cultural and Historical Perspective (IL)
Dr. Adolfo Cisneros
Have you ever desired to explore a different culture than your own, and have first-hand experience guided by a knowledgeable instructor and whose second home is Spain? You will have one of the best experiences of your life. A Bradley student said: “This is the best thing that happened to me during my four year at Bradley.” The course will study primarily the development of the Spanish transition to democracy and different aspects of contemporary Spanish civilization and culture. Students will have the opportunity to explore, with the class and also independently, various aspects of Spanish culture (art, history, architecture, music, dance, etc.). Furthermore, WLS 306 will offer the students the opportunity to directly interact with the Spanish culture, to foster the practice of the Spanish language as means of communication, and it will allow students the chance to improve their oral and written skills.
