SPN 500-549 - CUE: Senior Capstone Seminar: Transatlantic Issues in Hispanic Literatures & Cultures

1 course unit
The senior Capstone Seminar is a topics-based course in Spanish that will allow students to take their understanding of Hispanic literatures and cultures and apply it to broader multicultural and international perspectives.  Whether focusing specifically on literature or centering on broader social, cultural, or linguistic issues, students will examine aspects of the on-going dialogue between Spain and the Americas within their historical, social, and political contexts.  The explicitly comparative approach will both broaden and consolidate students’ understanding of language as a living process rooted in cultural contexts, a process essential in a pluralistic American society and in a world where nations―even those bound by a history of colonialism―are interdependent in increasingly complex ways.  Students will work individually and collaboratively to design, research, and present their critical analyses and findings in a thoughtful and thought-provoking way using theoretical approaches consistent with the discipline.  Taught in Spanish.
Prerequisite(s): One 400-level course in Spanish or approval of instructor.
