SPA 271 Latin American Culture Abroad
Like the on-campus course in Latin American Culture (SPA 270), SPA 271 will also involve a study of the character and spirit of the Hispanic people as exemplified in selected works of Latin American literature, articles, art, film, and music. However, this off-campus course, rather than take a broad-brush historical or continental perspective, will instead provide students with a unique, detailed, thematic focus on a specific region or country of the Spanish-speaking world. In SPA 271, special opportunities for experiential learning may include: home-stay living; community-based learning; and numerous site visits to monuments, museums, government institutions and cultural performances. Taught in Spanish.
