Why Minor in Latinx Studies?
Delve into the rich history, art, and literature of Latinx people in the U.S.
Students with a Latinx studies minor at Pacific University explore the experiences of Latinx people in the U.S. from a variety of perspectives — including historical, anthropological, political, linguistic, cultural, artistic, and literary, among many others.
In Latinx Studies, students can study immigration, citizenship, race, social disparities, gender, and sexuality. The Latinos/as/es experience in the United States encompasses recent immigrants, people who trace their ancestry to Spanish colonies, people with roots in what was formerly Mexican territory, and people whose families come from Latin America and the Caribbean.
