The vast expanse of Latin America's very geography suggests the interdisciplinary nature of the field. The five-course Latin American studies minor draws on the resources of Hamilton's Hispanic studies, history, government, sociology, women's studies and anthropology programs to present the Latin American mosaic in all its diverse dimensions.
The Hamilton program is not about large, anonymous lectures. It brings some of the College's most accomplished faculty members in many fields into small classrooms. There the emphasis is on discussion, one-on-one engagement, and strong writing and research skills.
A familiarity with Latin American language, life, arts and history is of great practical value in an increasingly bilingual and multicultural professional world. But Latin American studies provides its own rich rewards as well. Latin American culture is not "down there." It is part of the fabric of the American life that we all live; to see it more clearly is to see ourselves anew.
