ENG Critical Thinking & Composition Course - Latinx Focus

June 29 - July 1, 2022

Authors: Dawn Hamilton

Student Feedback

“...an incredibly insightful course towards harms that stereotypes and implicit biases create, not just towards Latinx americans, but towards all individuals of specific ethnic groups in today's society….”

“The class became an open space for students to learn in a judgment free and accepting environment where questions could be asked and controversial topics could be discussed and I hope others can continue to learn in the same way where ideas can be expressed and acknowledged.”

“...giving us the tools we need to think deeper about the things we ‘think’ we know.”
