Cuír/Queer Brazil
Instructor: Carolina Castellanos Gonella
Course Description:
Cross-listed with LALC 285-01 and WGSS 301-05. Course taught in English. Stereotyped as the country of carnival and licentiousness, Brazil combines a complex history of traditional, oppressive, and progressive values and laws. Same-sex marriage was approved in 2013, sex-correction surgeries are supported by the universal health care system, and So Paulo hosts the largest LGBTQIA+ parade in the world. Still, Brazil has the highest recorded number of murders of trans* people in the world. The goal of this course is to analyze the complexities of the literary, historical, and cinematographic production in Brazil of cur authors and topics. The course examines how self-representations and representations have created, challenged, promoted, and affected the LGBTQIA+ community. At the same time, the course foregrounds the importance of how Brazilians have thought about their own curness.

South American Archaeology
Instructor: Matthew Biwer
Course Description:
Cross-listed with ARCH 262 and LALC 262-01. This course examines the development of prehistoric societies in the South American continent through archaeological data. This course will explore the interactions of culture, economics, and politics in the prehistory of two major regions: the western Andean mountains and Pacific coast, and the eastern lowlands focusing on the Amazon River basin and Atlantic coast. In addition to learning the particular developments in each region, we will address three overarching themes: 1)What role did the environment play in shaping socio-political developments? 2) What influence do ethnographic and ethno-historical sources have on the interpretation of pre-Hispanic societies in South America? 3) What were the interactions between highland and lowland populations, and what influence did they have (if any) on their respective developments?
This course is cross-listed as ARCH 262 and LALC 262.
