Byrne Seminars

This seminar will address the Latino experience in college, in the U.S., and in New Jersey, and uncover the selves of Latino identity.  We will consider what has contributed to their language, their culture, and their identity, and how the immigrant and non-immigrant Latino quest for success is articulated among this new generation. Several topics will be explored, including Latinos’ linguistic and cultural diversity; Bilingual biculturalism; the Latino heritage experience; Latinos and the college experience; Code-switching and language identity; Latino history and migration; Latino gender roles; Latino academic achievement; Precious Knowledge; Latino familismo; Latinos and diaspora; and more.
