ARUP 310 - Latina Activism in SF

Unit(s): 4

The course will study the roots and present day context of Latina immigration in San Francisco and the US. This will be accomplished by examining the history of immigration withing the framework of community activism, cultural citizenship and the plight of Spanish-speaking women immigrants in this city. We will workshop with artists and activists, as well as do service work with two organizations who support women immigrants. Our final goal will be to strategize a tool for social action based on the collaboration with and specific needs of this community.
