Topic: "Latina/o Ethnography." Meets with ANTH 499. In this seminar we will examine the ethnographic literature on the U.S. Latino experience in order to better capture the many ways ethnographies on U.S. Latinos contribute to both socio-cultural anthropology and Latino Studies more broadly. More specifically, we will examine the many ways in which anthropologists have theorized and represented the everyday life of Latinas and Latinos in the United States as well as the formation and transformation of multiple Latina/o communities across the continental U.S.A, both historically and into the present. The ultimate goal of this seminar is to provide graduate and advanced undergraduate students with a foundation on the multiple ways Latino ethnographers and their interlocutors--through their own theoretically informed ethnographic texts--have contributed to theory and ethnography in the discipline of anthropology and beyond as well as to the interdisciplinary field of Latino Studies.

Topic: "Women of Color/Native Feminisms." Meets with AAS 490. This course will examine the scholarship of Women of Color Feminism and Native Feminism, which includes various feminist theories, perspectives, and politics that have emerged from and alongside Ethnic Studies and Indigenous Studies. This scholarship will explore 1) how and why the privileged subject of rights-based struggles for people of color has been heterosexual and male, 2) "the cultural defense" as used by the US legal system and international women's rights campaigns, and 3) the ethical dilemmas and political difficulties involved in organizing through difference. Readings will be drawn from a variety of disciplines, such as literary criticism, critical legal studies, and sociocultural anthropology as well as the interdisciplines of Queer Studies, Gender and Women's Studies, Ethnic Studies, and American Studies.
