LAMS 2206: Voices of Latin America: Contemporary Topics in the News

People, politics, and economies are more globally interconnected today than any time in human history. Students learn the historical, economic, and political contexts of current events in Latin America and make connections between these regional events and world news. Students critically analyze topics such as: global trade, debt, poverty, migration, the rights of indigenous peoples and women, racial and gender identities, political and criminal violence, the environment as well as emerging social, cultural, and political movements. Media literacy skills are acquired by exposing the limitations and biases of news reporting and other forms of media regarding contemporary issues in Latin America.
