Introduction to Latinx/Chicanx Studies for Educators (Part 2)
“Introduction to Chicanx/Latinx Studies for Educators” can be taken as a standalone professional development course OR as “Part 2” in the Race & Ethnic Studies with Multilingual Learners course that took place in Fall 2020.
Introduction to Latinx/Chicanx Studies for Educators (or Part 2 or REE) will be taught translingually with Spanish/English. Participants who do not understand or use Spanish should register for a future English-dominant version of this course.
Este curso explorará la historia, historias, identidades y experiencias de los latinos en Estados Unidos, enfocándonos en los grupos cubanos, mexicanos y puertorriqueños. Veremos algunas semejanzas y diferencias entre los grupos. Además analizaremos y cuestionaremos algunos términos relacionados o asociados con los latinos, entre ellos el término inmigrante para referirse a los latinos. También discutiremos temas de la actualidad, incluyendo las identidades compuestas (hyphenated identities), el translenguar, el Spanglish y el repertorio lingüístico de los latinos en EE.UU. Para poder abarcar varios temas, los abordaremos de manera introductoria. Así podrán explorar más a fondo los temas de su interés.
