The minor in Latinx studies introduces students to the diverse perspectives, histories, and contemporary experiences of Latinx communities in the US and Latin America. The minor is interdisciplinary, meaning that students will take courses from a variety of different fields within the humanities, social sciences, and professional schools. For example, students can choose to take courses in literature, history, the arts, environmental studies, or journalism, to name a few.
Students can also delve deeper into specialized Spanish language courses, especially those that focus on the contexts in which Spanish is spoken and the social and political implications of being a Spanish-speaker in the US.
