This seminar introduces students to the interdisciplinary study of contemporary migrations, diasporic transnationalism and the media in Latin America. The course will examine historical perspectives and contemporary trends on migration from Latin America to Europe, Asia and North America (South-North) as well as migrations within Latin American (South-South). The seminar will analyze how global news media cover Latin American migrants and how this coverage has evolved in relation to journalistic ownership, funding, audiences and professional practices. When possible, University of Arizona students will engage with students in Latin America or other parts of the world via online discussions. Students may use digital technologies to map Latinos in global media using archives from different parts of the world.

This course is taught fully in English and does not require bilingual proficiency.
