Course Description
The fact that the Spanish-speaking world (including the United States) does not have uniform definitions of sex, gender, and ancillary terms is symptomatic of how these social constructs continue to evolve. In this class, we will present how famous figures from the Spanish-speaking world have confirmed, defied, or complicated these interpretations. Students will learn how to apply communication strategies, with an emphasis on language structures and metalinguistics to enhance their academic writing. Students will provide simple reports on the evolution of the terms in the target language. Reading, listening, and speaking strategies will be addressed to a lesser degree.
