SPAN 325 - DL1: Migrant Narratives

This Mason Core course in Literature, taught in English, introduces students to Latin American and Latino/a/x narrative works through the lens of migration. We will explore migration topics in a range of storytelling formats: the coming-of-age and historical novel, the short story, oral history, memoir, comics, telenovela, dramatic and documentary film. Students will have the opportunity to locate these narratives in their historical and social contexts, and consider ways in which they add to our understanding of historical and contemporary migration processes and policies. As a Mason Core course in literature, SPAN 325 will also guide students in learning current cultural-analytic approaches to the study of literature, comics, televisio and film as they also develop their abilities in close reading, critical writing and discussion.

SPAN 325-DL1 is a distance education section.
