Course Title: Advanced Topics: 'Latinas/os/x and Housing: Mi Casa Is Not Su Casa' |
Start Date: 01/23/2023 End Date: 05/08/2023 |
Term: Spring Semester 2023 |
Description: Housing is closely tied to quality of life and the health of neighborhoods and communities. As a main goal of the "American Dream," homeownership has important significance on an individual and societal level. For immigrants, this goal is often out of reach as a result of racism and discriminatory housing policies. This interdisciplinary seminar explores Latinas/os/x relationship to housing and homeownership by examining the history of exclusionary housing policies in the United States. By exploring a range of topics (affordability, ownership, gentrification, etc), we will develop a sharper understanding of why housing is one of the most pressing issues for Latinas/os/x today. |
