Spanish Immersion

In this course, students advance their Spanish language proficiency as they deepen their critical consciousness of the social, cultural, and historic forces rooted in Indigenous and Latinx California. As we travel to three California Missions and the San Francisco Mission District, we'll explore original and secondary texts that take us back in time to tribes before the Missions, to the devastation of the Mission system and Indigenous resistance to it, and to Latinx communities today. Students will engage deeply with community members and leaders, as well as each other!
