UNV 101: Section 05

Course Description:

This course is an introduction to the field of Linguistics and its subfields through a survey of local languages spoken in Los Angeles, the people who speak those languages, and the cultural ideologies which impact language change and production over time. We will foster a global understanding and appreciation of cultural diversity, differences, and inequality through critical thinking, giving the opportunity for students to make informed judgments about the community/society around them. Finally, we will focus on transferability of what we learn to navigate the college experience, possible language related career paths and social/community-oriented interventions.
