CHILATST 109: GENTE: An incubator for transforming national narratives

Nearly 80,000 individuals who identify as Latino or Latina, turn 18 every MONTH in the United States alone.. Yet despite the rapid growth in numbers and a presence on this continent that predates the country itself, Latina/os are still spoken of largely through the lens of immigration, and primarily during the window of election seasons. This course will design, engage, and deliver human centered strategies and relational activations for transforming national narratives while advancing well being. Our core questions include:n - Who defines a people, and who is involved in definition making? n - What are the ways to engage story beyond marketing concepts into a platform for human connection? n - How does one ¿hack¿ a national narrative?n - How do relational activations like pop up dinners and listening parties create personal doorways for transformation that can be scaled without sacrificing quality?nnPlease note, GENTE is more than an identity-based course. It is initiative that designs blueprints for change-making across identities by curating stories, values and common histories of individuals into a shared future of well being.

CHILATST 173: Mexican Migration to the United States (AMSTUD 73, HISTORY 73, HISTORY 173)

This class examines the history of Mexican migration to the United States. In the United States we constantly hear about Obama¿s immigration plan, the anti-immigrant laws in Arizona, and the courage of DREAM Activists; in Mexico news sources speak about the role of remittances, the effect of deportations, and the loss of life at the border. Unfortunately, few people truly understand the historical trends in these migratory processes, or the multifaceted role played by the United States in encouraging individuals to head there. Moreover, few people have actually heard the opinions and voices of migrants themselves. This course seeks to provide students with the opportunity to place migrants¿ experiences in dialogue with migratory laws as well as the knowledge to embed current understandings of Latin American migration in their meaningful historical context.

CHILATST 201B: Making Meaning: Art, Culture & Social Change (CSRE 201B)

Are you an artist seeking a greater purpose for you art? Would you like to gain a sense of history and best practices for engaging your community in creative work? nnPractice of and an awareness of the concerns relevant to public art did not begin with Serra's Tilted Arc in 1980s. In contrast to the concerns of public art projects in the western practice of public art as extensions of the museum, this course explores the creative expression that emanates from community and cultural tradition. In communities around the world publicly engaged art making has flourished through creative tradition and collective engagements in social life. These traditions fostered creative works as collective practice, democratic participation, and interventionist impulses. From Agosto Boals's Theater of the Oppressed, to El Teatro Campesino's Farmworker actos¿to the Free Southern Theater¿¿ from the Fandango's of southern Veracruz, to muralism of Los Tres Grandes, and the SNCC Freedom Singers, this course links the history of community cultural expression of peoples around the globe as a means to expand contemporary concerns of public and socially engaged art beyond a strictly postmodern art context.
