ANT 324L: Arab Latin Americas - Hybrid Class (32410) TTH 9:30-11am
Based on the comparative approach between different countries in Latin America, this interdisciplinary course examines the ways in which Arab immigrant identities have been negotiated and coopted socially, but also institutionally, in various countries from the US and Mexico in the north to Argentina and Brazil in the south. Drawing on textual and visual materials surrounding debates about ethnicity, religion, and citizenship, the course explores the interplay of cultural, social, political and economic factors in shaping what we may call “Arab Latin American identities.”
ANT 324L: Expressive Arts Global Africa - (32435) TTH 2-3:30pm

We will cover a wide range of issues from the ways that race and gender inform "African dance” classes in neoliberal Sweden to how Afrofuturistic photography tackles themes of climate change. The goal of the course is to gain an understanding of how transnational artistic expression emerging from the African continent can be a form of protest and social commentary.
