Mexican Women in Drug Trafficking Instructor: Carolina Castellanos Course Description:
Across the world and throughout history, statistics have shown that men commit more crimes than women. However, womens involvement with drug trafficking in Latin America has grown exponentially. The main goal of this class is to analyze Mexican womens diverse and complex participation in drug trafficking while developing writing skills in Spanish. Some of the questions the course will discuss are: How are women represented? What are women saying and experiencing? Does womens participation in drug trafficking challenge traditional rules and values? Are conventional notions of femininity and masculinity redefined by womens participation in the criminal world? Because it is a writing-intensive (WR) course, students will take a process approach to writing (drafting, peer reviewing, feedback, and editing). Students will read newspaper clips, testimonials, interviews, watch a film, and listen to narcocorridos.

Andean Futurism Instructor: Andrea Lopez Course Description:
Cross-listed with LALC 300-01.In the early 2000s a group of native American writers started a literary movement that challenged imperialistic structures of science fiction (invasion, colonization, and exploitation of resources). Grace Dillon, coined the term Indigenous Futurism to name this movement, and defined it as contemporary experimental science fiction that holds ancient Indigenous epistemologies as core elements. Thus, Indigenous Futurism implies a process of decolonization that impacts all aspects of culture in societies with a strong indigenous heritage. This process has led to different outcomes and sub-genres across the Americas. Currently, in the Andean countries of South America, artists of diverse disciplines have conveyed the particularities of the indigenous cosmovision of the region to shape the Andean Futurism. This course will study the Andean Futurism in the works of writers, musicians and visual artists that are envisioning the future of their nation based on indigenous pre-Columbian epistemologies. The materials for the course will include the novel Saturnina from time to time, An oral history of the future by Allison Spedding, the video-art Andean Space Caravan by Alan Poma, and the album Isqun by Renata Flores, among others.
