SPAN 213 Experiencing Spain: Pragmatics and Conversation in Context 3 credits
Pragmatics entails the relationship between language and context. This subfield of linguistics can help us become more aware and critical of what we say, whether it be in our native language or a second language. After reviewing some basic theoretical components, students will use their experiences in Spain as a ālaboratoryā to reflect on their own interactions and observations during their daily lives abroad. Although the concepts covered are applicable to any language, this class focuses primarily on Spanish, often contrasted with cultural and linguistic differences in English regarding conversational styles, speech acts, politeness and verbal interaction in general.

SPAN 340 Experiencing Spain: From Urban Planning to Climate Action (1939 to the present) 6 credits
The management and planning of urban areas, in the context of the current climate crisis, have become the major challenge facing contemporary cities. Similarly, other problems such as tourist gentrification and socio-spatial segregation are increasing. In this course, we will explore the transformations experienced by Madrid, in its adaptation to political, social, and economic change from 1939 onwards. We will pay special attention to the development of urban planning and mobility policies that focus on ecological sustainability and social well-being. The course is a combination of theoretical and practical classes, including tours and visits to places of interest.

SPAN 347 Experiencing Spain: Welcome to the Spanish Revolution. From the “Spanish Miracle” to the “Indignant Movement” (1940-2021) 6 credits
The 'Spanish economic miracle' refers to the period of accelerated economic growth in Francoist Spain from 1959 to 1973. This unprecedented economic expansion laid the groundwork for the rapid development of a capitalist system within a dictatorship, resulting in a profound transformation of Spanish social structure. This course will analyze the underlying factors that supported this structural transformation, the subsequent 2008 financial crisis, theĀ IndignadosĀ Movement and the rise of the Commonsāa system promoting equitable and sustainable life for all. This course features engaging workshops with expert guest speakers, exciting travel opportunities, and meaningful interactions with diverse social collectives.
