Â鶹ÊÓƵ

Housed in Critical Race, Gender, and Culture Studies, Latina/o/x Studies is an interdisciplinary minor that considers Latin American origin communities in the United States. As a branch of USÌýrace and ethnic studies, Latina/o/x Studies courses explore questions of race, ethnicity, and racialization as the primary areas of focus. Operating from a comparative framework that examines Puerto Rican, Dominican, Mexican/Chicana/o/x, Central American, and other Latin American populations, the minor explores common interests and differences affecting USÌýLatina/o/x populations. Latina/o/x Studies at Â鶹ÊÓƵ capitalizes on the University’s strategic location in the DC Metropolitan area, a contact zone of communities with roots in all parts of the Americas.
