Faculty
The Chicana/o and Latinx Studies faculty is highly experienced in teaching undergraduates. This experience, combined with the small size of most MAS courses, ensures that you will receive a superior education. The faculty is committed to giving you as much personal attention as possible in the classroom and in advising sessions.
The CLAS faculty interests include subjects as diverse as latin history, immigration, gender studies, border studies and chicana/o literature and theory. Our faculty members are actively involved with professional organizations and regularly make scholarly presentations to local, state, national and international associations. Faculty members are constantly updating their knowledge of Hispanic culture and civilization, pursuing post-doctoral training and new professional interests.
