Latinx Studies secondary at Harvard EMR (Ethnicity, Migration, and Rights)

The Committee on Ethnicity, Migration, Rights (EMR) offers two secondary fields for Harvard College students.

The Latinx Studies (“Latino Studies” in my.harvard) secondary enables a more specific focus on Latinx populations in the United States, including attention to history, language, culture, demographics, legal rights, and immigration status.

Secondary Field in Latinx Studies at EMR

The EMR courselist comprises a wide variety of classes, taught by faculty from across the arts, humanities, and social sciences disciplines in FAS, as well as at other Harvard schools. Given the relevance of EMR topics to both local and global issues, the secondary field both encourages and provides opportunities for interacting directly with local communities and working outside the traditional classroom.
