LATINAM 248: Racial and Gender Inequalities in Latin America (CSRE 248)
This course explores the intersection between racial and gender inequalities in Latin America focusing on the historical pattern of racism, sexism and discrimination, and on the political and social changes that have enabled Afro-descendants and women to achieve social rights in some countries of the region such as Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Uruguay. The first part of this course introduces the struggle of political movements taking into consideration the historical process of race and gender discrimination. It will address not only the history of blacks¿ and women's movements in the 20th century, but also racism and sexism as cultural and institutional elements that configure inequality in those countries. Socio-economic indicators, race and gender-based violence, and political participation will be analyzed. The second part of this course examines the most recent discourses about women and afro-descendant rights, and their political framework. It evaluates how they have changed public opinion, laws and the social, institutional and political environment of Latin America. Finally, this course discusses the ability of Afro-descendants and women movements to navigate in the current political climate and advance their rights.Course will be taught in Portuguese.

LATINAM 252: The Inter-American Human Rights System: Doctrine, Practice and Advocacy
The Inter-American Human Rights System (¿IAHRS¿) has played a crucial role in opening up spaces for civil society to demand human rights protections in the region, increasing protections at the domestic level, and supporting civil society in its quest for accountability for massive human rights violations. The system has also played a role in civil society efforts to bring the human rights debate home, including in the United States. This course will provide an in-depth introduction to the history, doctrine, and practice of the IASHR, and will examine the obstacles and opportunities that civil society, victims, and advocates encounter when engaging the IAHRS.
