Extraordinary Hispanic Communities
Welcome
Welcome! I look forward to exploring the different hispanic communities with you. I hope it will be an interesting journey of language learning and self-discovery.
Course Description and Goals
In this class, we will learn about smaller communities throughout the Hispanic world that are fighting to become visible. We will explore themes such as identity, language preservation, gastronomic culture and artistic expressions. Using a hands-on approach and self reflection as our guiding principles, we will immerse ourselves in a journey to understand the realities of these communities as well as the impact they have on our own.
