Topic: "Latina/o Studies: Borders, Boundaries and Frames." This graduate seminar examines the emergence of Latino/a Studies as a field of scholarly inquiry. While assessing the historical, institutional, and (inter)disciplinary formations of Latino/a Studies by a handful of commentators, we will engage with significant texts which range from cultural studies and the social sciences to literary studies and historiography that enable us to trace the contours of the field. Questions the seminar will pose include: How does Latino/a Studies connect with or part ways from Chicano/a Studies, Puerto Rican Studies, and Latin American Studies? In what ways do global, transnational, local, and comparative approaches inform or impact Latino/a Studies? How has work in gender and sexuality pushed the theoretical and methodological boundaries of Latino/a Studies? How do class and citizenship figure into the constitution of what counts as Latino/a Studies? Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
