Gen Ed: Tier 1 Individuals & Societies/150 - Gen Ed: Exploring Perspectives, Social Scientist
In this course, students will apply a social science perspective to the study of Latin America as a complex region. This course will examine the historical, political, economic, and social factors contributing to racism, inequality, and violence in Latin America, as well as how Latin Americans have fought for social justice and waged social revolutions to challenge systems of oppression. This course emphasizes the experiences, struggles, and contributions of marginalized populations such as women, Black and Indigenous people, economically disadvantaged, and members of LGBTQIA+ communities. Using the analytical tools and qualitative methods of social scientists, students in this course will analyze how specific case studies exemplify broader regional trends; identify the historical antecedents of current events; and propose solutions to pressing global problems. Along the way, students will reflect on their own stereotypes about Latin American countries and peoples and come to a greater understanding of the importance of learning about this dynamic region of the world.

Gen Ed: Tier 1 Individuals & Societies - Gen Ed: Exploring Perspectives, Social Scientist
Mexico today is a diverse and dynamic country that is often misrepresented in popular stereotypes as a country full of sleepy, rural villages or dangerous, drug-ridden deserts. What are the major challenges facing Mexico today? Why do so many people migrate away from Mexico-and why do even more Mexicans return home? What historical and contemporary forces have shaped contemporary Mexico? We will learn about major topics including immigration, racial and ethnic diversity, democracy and political change, inequality, environmental change, violence, injustice and impunity, and Mexico in the global context (especially Mexico-United States relations). In the process, you will gain a far better understanding than most North Americans have of the peoples, environments, cultures and regions of Mexico, and of the complex political, economic and social structures that influence the region and its international relations, especially with the United States. This course focuses on current challenges of development, environment, and politics in Mexico. It will examine how Mexico has dealt with such issues as economic development and human rights. We will also explore environmental and indigenous politics, resource struggles, urban challenges, and the impact of the war on drugs. The last part of the class examines Mexican migration experiences, U.S. immigration policy, and the social and environmental context of the U.S.-Mexico border.
Students are encouraged to follow the news about Mexico to keep up with rapidly-changing events and ideas. Some of the topics we cover are controversial (e.g., revolutions, immigration, drugs and U.S. intervention) and you may not always agree with the opinions expressed by the readings, professors, teaching assistants, or your fellow students. We encourage you to express your ideas and to question the ideas presented to you, in a constructive manner that shows respect for the views of others.

This course focuses on the social, cultural, linguistic, and historical roots of contemporary Central American identities. As the introductory course in Central American Studies Certificate offered through the Center for Latin American Studies, this course takes an interdisciplinary look at the evolution and development of Central American peoples and nations, with particular emphasis on the indigenous foundations of the region. We begin by situating Central America in broad Latin American historical contexts with examinations of colonialism, nation-building, and the modern political economies of the region. We then turn to topical examinations of indigenous identity, culture, and languages. Through individual and collective research and analysis, students will examine the following themes of this course: colonization and imperialism; indigenous identity and culture; race and mestizaje; migration and human rights; and indigenous movements of Central America.

Food is of wide-ranging interest because it makes up a significant part of the cultures that bind people together into national communities. Food is central to cross-cultural studies of behavior, thought, and symbolism. This course explores the connections between what people in Latin America eat and who they are through cross-cultural study of Latin Americans' food production, preparation, and consumption. Readings are organized around critical discussions of what people cook and eat in Mexico, Tucson-Mexico Border, Caribbean, Central America, Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil, Peru, and Argentina. A primary goal of the course is to provide students with theoretical and empirical tools to understand and evaluate the relationship between food, history, culture, and economy in Latin America at local and global levels.

The Latin American region has some of the greatest health disparities on the planet. Why do they exist, why do they persist, and what might be done to change them? This class will focus on examining the social dimensions that perpetuate inequalities of health and harm in Latin American societies, as well as healing practices that include, but extend far beyond, a biomedical approach. We will also look closely at the influence of “culture” on disease and treatment, which often figures centrally within debates about the production of Latin American health inequalities. How do cultural ideas and practices about race, indigeneity, class, gender, ecology, development, and globalization affect how a disease is understood, who gets access to treatment, who is denied access to care, and who heals and who doesn’t? The course will argue that in Latin America to understand the production of health inequalities, and to transform them, we need to interrogate closely sociocultural dimensions of disease and medicine, at both local and global scales.

How does power shape international relations? In this course, students will apply a social science perspective to the study of U.S.-Latin American relations. The course is organized around the concept of power, and how asymmetric power relations between the United States and Latin American countries contribute to inequality and injustice between states (global) and within societies (social). In this course, students identify and explore social science approaches to the global power structure and use theory to analyze five hemispheric challenges: unequal economic development, cross border displacement, insecurity, climate change, and global health inequalities. In addition, students explore how a social scientist's position in the global power structure shapes their perspective through a comparison of the main U.S. approach(realism) and the main Latin American approach(dependency). Students use the analytical tools and methods of social science to identify how U.S. imperialism shapes the five hemispheric challenges, and to connect imperialism to structural injustice at the international level. Finally, throughout the course, students reflect on their position in the global power structure and how they can contribute solutions to hemispheric problems.

With a focus on Latin America, this course examines the historical, comparative, and current dynamics of two global commodities: illicit drugs and oil. These commodities--which depend on a U.S. consumer base--generate unfathomable wealth and unrelenting violence at local, national, and international levels. We follow them from extraction and production through consumption, examining socioeconomic and environmental impacts, their relationship to state corruption, and possible strategies for responding to the problems they create.

This colloquium is a logical sequence to LA S 195A and consists of multiple weekend trips into the state of Sonora. The objective of this field course is to learn first hand from public and private officials and academics in the state of Sonora about the border reality from Mexican perspectives. Visits to government, non-profit and business institutions involved in cross-border activities or research, participation in short seminars or workshops with Mexican students, and lectures or discussions conducted by individuals from the public and private sectors provide an interdisciplinary, international and global focus. Participation in all field trips and related workshops or discussion-groups and attendance at a pre-trip orientation and a post-trip wrap-up (50%) and submission of a journal of personal observations and reactions to issues observed, studied and discussed (50%) will determine satisfactory completion of course requirements. Students taking the course for Honors credit will prepare a special presentation for the wrap-up session and receive an Honors grade.

Cross Listed with Food Studies - Co-convened - Engagement: Intercultural Exploration - Engagement: Diversity and Identity
Mexico has one of the world's most accomplished food heritages. Many people in the U.S. are unaware that in ancient times the country's native peoples domesticated many important food crops that are of great importance today: corn, tomato, avocado, squash, pinto beans, and cacao (chocolate), to name a few. As in other countries, Mexican food is not an incidental component of life, but an essential part of how Mexico is structured; what people eat represents a confluence of power, culture, technology, and taste. In this course, we take a critical look at Mexican food production, processing, and consumption through a political ecology approach that includes an examination of important historical developments that provide context to more contemporary processes. These include Mexico's Green Revolution; the impact of globalization and new conceptualizations of food; the North American Free Trade Agreement; and migration in and out of Mexico. This course includes a 10-day optional field trip to Oaxaca, Mexico during the spring break for 1 extra credit. In combination with field activities, the course will also include a section on qualitative methods for the study of food.

The American immigration and border enforcement systems have undergone radical changes in the last several decades and have become flashpoints of controversy across the political spectrum. Using a human rights frame, this class will take a critical look at the development of these policies and the ways in which they have impacted immigrants and their families. Using the latest scholarship and recent in-depth journalism, we will explore the component policies of these complicated systems, their dramatic consequences for undocumented and documented people alike, and possible avenues for change within a human rights framework.

This course explores the relationship between film and feminism in Latin America. What can films teach us about gender and its intersection with class, race, sexuality, politics, and place in Latin America? How do Latin American women filmmakers express unique points of view on gender relations in society, thus contributing to the production of feminisms? What makes a film feminist? What are the experiences of women filmmakers in an industry dominated by men? We will critically evaluate films from a feminist and film studies perspective. We will contextualize films in the historical context of Latin American societies and cinema, with a particular emphasis on films directed by women in Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Guatemala, Cuba, and Peru. We will screen films across various genres to explore the following themes: revolution; dictatorships; Black, indigenous, and decolonial feminisms; motherhood; gendered violence; reproductive rights; and sexuality.
