Latin American Studies 310 - Seminar: Senior Capstone

This course studies how people trained in the field of Latin American and Latin@Studies "do their work," asking: what constitutes a compelling research topic and what methologies are required to complete such research. Focus rests on the last decade. We explore a wide range of authors, from those interested in the arts to those who study immigration or climate change. This class also asks each student to develop and present an independent research project, teaching others in class about her topic. Throughout we consider and debate the implications of working in this field--both inside and outside academic settings. Required for the major in Latin American Studies and the minor in Latino/a Studies. Enrollment limited to 12. Juniors and seniors only. Instructor permission required.
