  • SOCIOLOGY 370-002 Latinos/as/xs in Space (Fall 2023, We 4:15PM - 6:45PM)

    Latinxs are the largest minoritized population in the United States, With a population of more than 60 million. As the fasting growing demographic in the U.S., how is this complex population (re)conceptualizing, (re)framing, (re)making, and (de)constructing spatial boundaries? Further, how are Latinxs both transforming and challenging U.S. physical and conceptual landscapes? Drawing from spatial, decolonial, and feminist of color theories, we will engage these questions through a thematic exploration of the ways that Latinxs have influenced, shaped, and (re)used space as a struggle to maintain dignity and engage in place-making. We will connect these ideas to geography, citizenship, civil rights, social justice, and cultural practices.

  • SPRING 2022 - SOCL 280–001 (4835): U.S. IMMIGRATION

    This course is designed to provide a sociological understanding concerning various impacts of immigration in the United States. We will examine fundamental concepts for studying migration, and theories that explain international migration. We will also discuss how immigrants have redefined –and will keep redefining– local and foreign demographic dynamics in receiving and sending societies, transnational networks, and a more complex ethno-racial diversity with meaningful international roots.
