Adjunct Faculty

The presidential elections are in November, and the inauguration is in January. This course will focus on the portrayal of politics and the American political system in Hollywood movies from Mr. Smith Goes to Washington to Oppenheimer and Civil War. Movies about American politics, and especially the presidency, run the gamut between idealistic and inspirational to deeply critical. Cinema, as an art form, has the ability to capture the national mood and psyche and reflect them back to us in the form of commercially successful entertainment. During the semester, as the campaign unfolds, we will be analyzing events on the ground through the lens of the movies, and the perspectives they can provide about our current moment.

Pop goes the culture! From Tik Tok to television, art history to public protest, visual culture and performance are central to our everyday life as a society. Popular culture encompasses all that we see and experience on a quotidian level and how ideas are processed and produced through social and political forces. Since the focus of this section is popular culture, the curriculum includes weekly in-class and at-home viewings, and independent field trips as feasible.

At this point in our society, 鈥渟ocial media鈥� is a phrase that has proliferated to the point of being inescapable. This course will examine that phrase, however, looking at the media (i.e. the means of communication) in our digital age and precisely how social (i.e. allowing one to interact with others as part of a society) they allow us to be. Students will also examine technology鈥檚 portrayal in contemporary literature and film to better grasp our current societal struggle with technology and its – sometimes uncomfortable – grasp on our lives.

Natalia Santamaria-Laorden
Associate Professor of Spanish

Languages allow us to express ourselves: from basic everyday needs to our deepest desires. And, yet, each language acts as a code that frames reality in specific ways, too, restricting our capacity to knowledge and self-expression.聽In this sense, while scientific language such as the one used in medicine strives to be unequivocal (i.e., organs are clearly differentiated from each other and have equivalent terms in each language), a patient in distress is likely to experience difficulty in expressing their pain and source of suffering. The difficulties only increase when trying to communicate in a different language and culture.

In this course, we will examine how languages function and the difficulties of translating in health care and human services contexts. Specifically, we will focus on the needs of native speakers of Spanish and Spanish-English bilingual speakers. The course will also provide an introduction to Spanish vocabulary and expressions related to health care and an understanding of cultural specificities.

Open to students of all levels of Spanish, true beginner to proficient, the course will also give students an understanding of the benefits to complement their careers with a minor in Spanish or the certificate in Spanish for Health Care and Human Services, awarded two UISFL grants, in 2018 and 2020, respectively.
