The Special Topics - Art, Activism, and Social Movements was very thorough in terms of explaining the meaning behind politically and socially motivated works of modern and historic art. This course was taught by Elizabeth Dayton, whose humor often made the class way more enjoyable. As long as you have the gist of weekly readings and really put effort into writing requirements, you will be fine.

The spring portion of Inter-Racial Dynamics was taught in Seminars by Instructors and Teaching Assistants. I had TA Ariana Valle, who was great! The entire course was weekly readings, three Instagram posts, an Analytical Memo that summarized 4 readings, and an interview research paper, as well as in-class discussion. She made the class engaging by using lectures with slides, reading summaries, discussion, documentaries, and songs / youtube videos. It was also helpful to learn the process of an interview research paper - it's something I had not written before and I now feel prepared and confident if I get assigned other Interview Research papers in the future. The seminar was termed "Deconstructing Latinidad" and looked at different Latino/Hispanic groups by origin country, discussed panethnic identity and more. It was extremely interesting and I would recommend to anyone!
