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 DACA will be rescinded under the current administration.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.
