  • CHLT 160 CH -Queering (Im)Migration: LGBTI & Gender Nonconforming Migration from Central America


    Institution: Pitzer

    Description: This course will interrogate the historical and contemporary relationship between sexuality, gender and migration. The recent press and political backlash on Central American immigrant children, their mothers and Transgender, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Intersex individuals at the border often elide the horrific conditions they are experiencing in detention in the U.S. and on the migration trail through Mexico. The class is an interdisciplinary intervention into various fields to draw connections between Chicanx, Latinx, Central American studies and queer studies on (im)migration. This class aims to utilize both feminist theory and methodology as well as popular education methodology to analyze migration and conduct participant observation research and oral histories of affected individuals.

    Institution: Pitzer

    Description: This course is an interdisciplinary survey of the social, historical, political, economic, educational, and cultural experiences of Central American diasporas in the United States. We will refer to the “epicentro” or “epicenter” to signal both a spatial and symbolic space that problematizes how Central American identities and subject-positions destabilize dominant understandings of the “Latino” experience in the United States. Focusing primarily on diasporas from the Northern Triangle, we will critically interrogate the relationship between the United States and Central America, examining how geopolitics and US-Central American international relations have shaped the trajectories of Central American immigrant communities and their presence/incorporation in U.S. society. Importantly, students will also gain a critical understanding of Central American identities, particularly as these have been constructed through the intersection of race, gender, sexuality, and legal status and through transnational economic, political and cultural networks.

  • CHST 128 CH -Latinx Citizenship: Race, Rights and Resistance


    Institution: Pitzer

    Description: This course examines the normative and political dilemmas around issues of citizenship, belonging, and national identity amongst US Latinos. Contesting this status (of citizenship) has been at the core of Latino politics for more than 150 years. Pursuing the goal of full, equal, and just inclusion has long been a major struggle that has been most recently impacted by globalization and migration, transnationalism, and immigrants’ rights movements which have challenged the US citizenship regime. The class will draw from a wide array of readings in political and legal theory, sociology, anthropology, and U.S. Latino studies. By the end of the class, students will be able to articulate and understand political theories of nation-state citizenship, including its historical, sociological, and legal underpinnings.

Writers seeking to reflect and inform the US immigrant experience have seized on the expressive and critical power of memoir, Bildungsromane, historical fiction, and revolution narratives.
