This interdisciplinary concentration examines the linguistic, literary, social and cultural continuum of peoples and communities in the United States and in Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries, including Spain, Portugal, Brazil, and all the hispanophone countries of Latin America and the Caribbean. In addition, it encompasses the cultural production in the Spanish and Portuguese languages from areas and countries such as Morocco, the Philippines, Equatorial Guinea, Angola, Mozambique and Macao. We explore topics and themes related to these populations from an interdisciplinary perspective that links the approaches of the humanities, fine arts, and social sciences with special attention to such themes as colonialism and post-colonialism, race, ethnicity and nation, identities, border crossing, transculturation, diasporas and migrations.
