This course is an introduction to History and its methods. It is intended to provide students with skills useful throughout their college career, particularly in an HFA (Humanities and Fine Arts) track. We will use race and gender as analytical frameworks to understand history and relate it to our present world. This will include topical discussions on feminism, masculinity and war, slavery and emancipation, and Civil Rights.

In this class, we will begin by assuring a basic understanding of the colonial history of Puerto Rico as background to our central focus: exploration of music, art, short stories, and poetry created by Puerto Ricans living off-island. Choices about Spanish and English language-use by writers and artists alike will be considered; we will explore ways in which Salsa and Reggaeton music, for example, are both artistically and politically important; and we will look at issues of race/racism and how these are negotiated by particular musicians, artists, and writers.

How do cities, rivers, bacteria, and weather shape our literature and cinema? What kind of creatures do we choose to write about? What kinds of creatures choose to write or make films at all? This course will explore the history and tradition of writing with an ecological focus. We will survey the kinds of writing and film that we usually associate with the environment - poems about shepherds and birds - as well as work that might seem at first less environmentally engaged. Throughout the course, students will practice college-level writing and communication.
