LTAM 102 Unsettling Latin America: New Encounters 6 credits
This course introduces students to the interdisciplinary field of Latin American Studies. Drawing from history, anthropology, literature, political science, and cultural studies, we explore Latin America as both a geographic region and a dynamic idea shaped by centuries of interaction, colonization, resistance, and migration. From ancient Indigenous cultures to the complexities of contemporary Latino/a/e/x labels, students will examine how identity, power, and culture intersect across borders. In the process, the goal of the class is to show the diversity of lived experiences, how multiple worlds can coexist, and the importance of understanding, and perhaps unsettling, how Latin American realities are produced and enacted.

LTAM 113 Archeology of Ancient Latin America 6 credits
This course examines ancient peoples of the large, geographically and culturally diverse region of Latin America. Focused on Central America, South America, and the Caribbean, we will examine the material culture of Indigenous peoples from c. 20,000 years ago to the time of European contact (1500 AD), including the Olmec, Maya, Aztec, Moche, Inka, Taíno, and Rapa Nui peoples. Themes include migration, the environment, settlement, long-term social change, and daily life. We will also review current debates and ethical issues, with an emphasis on Indigenous perspectives and cross-disciplinary dialogues between archaeology and related fields.
