This course will critically examine the social, cultural, political, economic, educational and health experiences of the multiplicity of Latina/o(x) families in the United States. Thorough examinations of readings, podcasts, and films students will discuss the family experience among Latina/o(x) groups in the U.S. and as they maintain transnational ties. With an emphasis on Mexican and Central American undocumented and mixed-status families, we will discuss the roles of immigration law, citizenship, structures, institutions and norms in shaping family life. We will interlay questions of power and resistance among Latina/o(x) individuals and families as they navigate intersectional in(equalities) that stem from the saliency of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, immigration status, labor, socioeconomic status, education and health in their daily lives.
