CSP 1 (Im)migrant Communities of California

This course offers students the opportunity to analyze the sociohistoric, legal, and cultural tensions surrounding various (im)migrant communities in California. Students will explore the various waves of (im)migration across time to understand the diverse communities of California. Students will also build critical and interpretive capacities through the examination of state policies, statistics, and various historical and empirical studies. Additionally, through the construction and revision of several expository, research-based writings on immigration, students will hone their writing, argumentation, and presentation skills.

This course is part of the California Immigration Semester, and is open only to first-year students simultaneously enrolled in CSP 1, CTSJ 105, DWA 282 and SOC 105.
