Description	In this module, students study Latin American history through the region's iconic women, seeking to understand how these women—nonfictional and literary—have been represented throughout Latin American history. Gender, sexuality, race, and class will be key concepts that guide the course. Why have Latin American journalists, artists, historians, and social movements drawn upon these particular women as symbols of their nations at different historical moments and to what effect? Why is it, specifically, women that are conjured in Latin American discussions of colonialism, imperialism, dictatorship, and/or globalization? How and why have the narratives around them changed over time?
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Analyse and explain key events and historical processes relevant to the subject under scrutiny. Analyse and explain reasons for and implications of these events and processes. Identify the main scholarly views on the subject under investigation. Work with an appropriate degree of learner independence to explain and analyse the material under scrutiny. Communicate explanation and analysis of the subject clearly and effectively in writing.
