ETHN 120 - Mexican Immigration in the U.S.

TR 11:50 am - 1:35 pm, Instructor: Anna Sampaio



This class will examine the history of Mexican immigration to the U.S. with a particular focus on shifts occurring in the 20th century. We will examine both the historical shifts in U.S.-Mexican relations which have impacted immigration in the region and look specifically at five policy issues: unauthorized immigration, bilingual education, the economic impacts of immigration, the rise in immigrant civic participation, and the relationship between immigration and national security. Ultimately, this class will help students understand and explore one of the most timely and relevant issues impacting the state and the country today. (5 units)

The course fulfills the Diversity Core Requirement and Race, Place and Social Inequalities Pathway.

ETHN 126 - Latina/o Immigrant Detention & Incorporation in the Age of Terrorism


This class will examine shifts in immigration politics with specific focus on the largest population of immigrants in the U.S., namely Latinas/os. In the course of this examination we will pay particular attention to changes occuring after 1996 and the increasing scrutiny of both documented and undocumented immigrants that has led to surges in the numbers of immigrants detained, apprehended, incarcerated, and deported. We will be mindful of the gendered, class and racialized dynamics at work in the development and execution of new immigraton policy, and we will examine the affect of these shifts on concepts of citizenship. In the end the course will compell students to consider the moral, political, and legal implications of an immigration policy focused disproportionately on enforcement and challenge them to find comprehensive alternatives.
