Approach: Critical Interpretation (CI), Writing Intensive;, ; Haverford: Humanities (HU) Part of a 360: Migrations and Borderlands. Enrollment limited to 360 participants only. 360 Description: This 360 will use the lenses of cultural studies and sociology to critically and comparatively examine migration in different national contexts and historical moments. We will focus in particular on the complex factors shaping migrations between Latin America and the United States, Latin American and Spain, and Asia and Latin America, as well as how migration is represented in literature and culture. We will probe questions of imperialism, economic and political policies, xenophobic discourse, transnational belonging, cultural citizenship, and how individuals and families are transformed through the process of migration. Our trip to the US-Mexican border will allow students to critically examine first-hand the interplay between U.S. migration policy, globalization, social justice movements, and individual agency. |
