This is the course website and blog for Chicana/o Studies 302: Chicanas and Latinas in the US, Fall 2012, at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. This course will explore Chicana and Latina coming of age stories through an interdisciplinary reading of fiction, autobiography and other media sources. This is a public blog, intended to be used as a resource for the students in the class, but also for the larger community. Thoughtful and respectful comments are welcome.
