NEVADA, URBANA. Topic: Latina/o Resilience: Mental Health and Awareness. This course will introduce students to mental health wellness and awareness as particularly salient but often overlooked components of Latina/o student's retention and academic and personal development. Students will gain an understanding of mental health issues facing Latino college students, resources available to them and their communities, and strategies for promoting and maintaining mental health resiliency. We will explore such innovative practices as peer networking and outreach, community-based theatre, reflective writing, and role playing. Our goal is to develop students as facilitators and connectors in social networks to promote Latina/o college success.
62053	Lecture-Discussion	DG	9:30AM -10:50AM	TR	103 1207 W Oregon	Glisch-Sanchez, D	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/16/18-05/02/18 Section Title: Queer Latinidades Section Info: Topic: Queer Latinidades. This course uses queer and queerness as a framework to understand various Latina/o identities that exist outside of the mainstream. Queerness, in this course, is not limited to a certain set of sexual and gender identities (LGBT), but is an idea that helps interrogate who gets to be counted as “legitimately” and “authentically” Latina/o and who is denied this. In particular, we will take an in-depth look at transgressive Latina/o sexualities and gender identities, blackness, indigeneity, and disability. Restriction(s): Restricted to Undergrad - Urbana-Champaign.
55517	Lecture-Discussion	RO	11:00AM -1:30PM	TR	1103 Siebel Center for Comp Sci	Romero, R	Part of Term: B Date Range: 03/12/18-05/02/18 Section Title: Immigration & Child Arrivals Section Info: Topic: Immigration & Child Arrivals. The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) allowed undocumented individuals who had entered the country as minors, to be granted a deferred action from deportation, and to receive a renewable work permit. DACA will be rescinded under the current administration. This course proposes to use the field of Cultural Studies to analyze the social and political dynamics behind the current policies on immigration. In the first section of the course, students will read some of the classic texts that grounded the field of cultural studies. A second section will analyze how US Latina/Latino Cultural Studies scholars defined the field for their discipline. A third section will allow the students to bring the theory to practice by using the cultural studies lens to deconstruct the political debates surrounding the Act. Restriction(s): Not intended for students with Freshman class standing. Restricted to Undergrad - Urbana-Champaign.
