Trans-Atlantic Cultural Topics: Podcasting: new narratives of the Hispanic world

Instructor: Prof. Paola Cadena Pardo

This course is a panoramic and transatlantic approach to the Hispanic world through audio narratives produced in Latin America and Spain (narrative podcast). It is divided into six units which include history, diversity and culture, migrations, societies and politics, and biographical experiences. The course will provide the students with a better understanding of the history, struggles, politics and beliefs in which these cultures and societies are founded through individual narratives immersed in specific historical and social moments and circumstances. The various course materials (podcast and readings) and the projects and activities will promote the student’s critical thinking in front of a variety of social and cultural contexts, engaging them in a reflection on the similarities and differences between different countries, cultures and societies, including their own.
