Description: Centering on timely discussions and representations in Latinx Studies students will interact with fiction, poetry, photography, music, dance, and cooking to gain a better understanding of Latinx life as it is lived – through the senses. Specific texts, videos, and assignments will pay particular attention to taste, smell, touch/feeling, and sound. Not only will students be learning the curvatures of the themes being presented to them, but by an intentional emphasis on their senses and the ways that lived experiences appear in their scholarship students can then imagine different ways of “learning” and “doing research.” Taught in English.
