Topic: This seminar surveys the educational experiences of Latinx students, families, and communities in the United States as historically and presently impacted by the social construct of race. It assumes the theoretical stance of intersectionality as a lens that illuminates the ways Latinx education occurs at the nexus of race, gender, sexuality, class, and citizenship status. Specific examples of how Latinx communities throughout the Midwest have experienced, mitigated, and resisted institutional racism in education will allow us to gain a more concrete understanding of the interplay between larger schooling structures and Latinx lives. A special emphasis will be placed on critical race theory and Latina/o critical theory as frameworks that illuminate race in education while centering the experiences of Students of Color. The material thus challenges us to disentangle the effects of race, gender, class, sexuality, and immigration status on Latinx educational attainment and achievement.

Meets with AAS 590 and ENGL 564. For bell hooks, "aesthetics is more than a philosophy or theory of art and beauty; it is a way of inhabiting space, a particular location, a way of looking and becoming," or too, a pathway into the complicated social life of minoritarian subjects. In assessing such complexity, this course will go beyond the aesthetic as merely a visual and aural practice and include the particularities of touch, taste, smell, and the full sensorial effects of the body. To land in the realm of the senses, we will work with, but mostly depart from traditional constructions of aesthetic theory by turning to performance studies, literary theory, visual culture, cultural studies, and ethnic and area studies. By addressing how the aesthetic informs our understanding of difference, politics, resistance, and the cultural spaces of the communal, we will also attend to how scholars write the aesthetic into existence, and in consequence embark upon new ways of writing with aesthetic forms.
