The School of Languages, Cultures, and Race (SLCR) cultivates deeper understandings of linguistic, cultural, national, citizenship, and racial perspectives in a global context as explored through an interdisciplinary approach grounded on the humanities and social sciences. Located in historic Thompson Hall, the School stands as a bridge between the past and the future through its degrees: American studies and culture, comparative ethnic studies, foreign languages and cultures, humanities, and social sciences. Foreign languages have been offered at WSU since 1890 and Thompson remains the site for one of the first dedicated language learning centers in the nation (established in 1911). The interdisciplinary degrees in Humanities and Social Sciences date back to 1911. At the same time, the School includes the contemporary and transdisciplinary envisioning of culture and race studies that American Studies and Culture, and Comparative Ethnic studies embody. Together, these programs collaborate in finding innovative responses to the challenges of our ever-changing societies.

The School fosters critical literacy, intercultural engagement, and the pursuit of global social justice through grounded, holistic engagement in interdisciplinary inquiry and programs. Language studies in context, the study of transnational cultural and race matters, and integrative approaches to linguistic, social, and cultural phenomena provide students with the skills, experiences, and perspectives necessary to thrive in an increasingly diverse and heterogeneous global society. The school interests are centered on the following:

Critical analysis of culture and its products around the globe.
The effects of popular culture and media on social articulations of race and ethnicity.
Social and cultural production of languages.
Social and cultural influence of languages.
Intersectional and interdisciplinary scholarship in the humanities and the social sciences.
Innovative approaches in teaching and scholarly production.

Above all, the school encourages its constituencies to make a difference by learning about and demonstrating a commitment to issues in our changing world through undergraduate and graduate education, scholarship, and outreach.

The School offers Bachelor of Arts degree programs in Comparative Ethnic Studies, Foreign Languages and Cultures (Chinese Language and Culture, French, Japanese, and Spanish), Humanities (including an International Studies track with major concentration areas in Latin American Area Studies, Germanic Area Studies, French and Francophone Area Studies, and European Area Studies; and other tracks in Linguistics), and Social Sciences (with an option in Personnel Psychology/ Human Resources, available at WSU-Vancouver only.) The Humanities and Social Sciences degrees are not identified with a specific subject-matter field on the diploma. Additional or second majors in Language for the Professions are available in French, German, Japanese, and Spanish.

The School offers undergraduate minors in language (Chinese, French, German, Japanese, and Spanish) and cultural minors in American Indian Studies, Film Studies, French Area Studies, German Area Studies, Global Studies, Latin American Area Studies, Popular Culture, and Russian Area Studies. Language certificates in Arabic, Italian, Korean, and ‘Core Competencies in Spanish Language and Culture’ are available as well.

The School offers a Doctor of Philosophy program in American Studies and Culture.

Facilities

The School is supported by the Language Learning Resource Center (LLRC) located in the historic Thompson Hall since 1911. It provides individual foreign language students with access to 12 Windows 7 PC’s, as well as two HD TVs with VCR & Blu-Ray DVD players, a dedicated computer with a high-speed duplex scanner plus a flat-bed scanner and editing software (Photoshop, Adobe Acrobat Professional, etc.) LLRC also provides foreign language courses with class access to 18 Windows 7 Enterprise computers. The upper mezzanine level (balcony) holds 9 Windows 7 computers and a 55″ HD-TV with a dedicated HD-DVD & Blu-Ray player. In addition, the lab/classroom in Thompson 28 (ground floor) holds 15 Windows 7 computers and an HD LCD Projector.

UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES

Bachelor of Arts in Comparative Ethnic Studies

The Comparative Ethnic Studies program (CES) within the SLCR brings together leading scholars committed to teaching and research, who have created an intellectual community at the forefront of critical cultural studies in the Pacific Northwest.

Additional Majors in Language for the Professions

Students who are admitted to a major may seek an additional major focusing on the professional application of a specific language. This additional major does not lead to a degree. These additional majors - French for the Professions, German for the Professions, Japanese for the Professions, and Spanish for the Professions - offer skills-based, proficiency-oriented learning that prepares students to communicate in the target language in professional settings. The unique combination of applied foreign language instruction and in-depth study of the culture(s) in which the target language is spoken trains students to achieve a level of proficiency in the language that enables them to identify and analyze cultural traits and concepts relevant to those countries and communities. The distinctive focus of this curriculum, i.e. on both language proficiency and intercultural proficiency, provides students entering today’s increasingly global and diverse workplace with the communication skills necessary to work effectively within, between, and across different language communities. This will enhance marketability and options for employment and allow students to become effective global leaders and entrepreneurs.

Spanish – Latin American and Latinx Studies (120 Credits)

The Bachelor of Arts in Foreign Languages & Cultures / Spanish - Latin American and Latinx Studies is a cross-disciplinary program designed for students who have interests in both the acquisition of Spanish language and the study of Latin American and Latinx cultures, literatures, and film. The Bachelor of Arts in Foreign Languages & Cultures / Spanish - Latin American and Latinx Studies promotes the study of Latin American societies and Latinx communities in the United States from systematic, interdisciplinary, comparative, and transnational approaches, through a learning process based on the intersectionality of notions such as social class, ethnicity, race, gender, migration, “local” realities, late capitalism, colonialism, postcolonial condition, among others. Students will learn how nowadays Latin American national identities were built and how those identities are simultaneously preserved and negotiated in Latino communities in the U.S.

The Bachelor of Arts in Foreign Languages & Cultures / Spanish - Latin American and Latinx Studies is preparatory for careers and future study in teaching, social work, law school, community development and nonprofit work along with graduate programs in Spanish, Hispanic Studies, Latin American Studies, Latinx Studies, American Studies, History, Ethnic Studies, Immigration Studies, Law, among other fields.

To earn a Bachelor of Arts in Foreign Languages & Cultures / Spanish - Latin American and Latinx Studies students will complete:

• A minimum of 34 credits beyond the 203 level (or the equivalent level in competence) in Spanish language courses (including 15 credits in Latin American Literature, Film, and Culture.) SPANISH 101, 102, and 203 do not count toward the major. Students who place into 102 and receive a B or better qualify for an additional 4 departmental advanced placement credits; students placing into 203 or above and receiving a B or better qualify for 8 departmental advanced placement credits. A maximum of 8 departmental AP credits is possible. See school for details.

• A minimum of 27 credits in Comparative Ethnic Studies (CES) courses focused on Latino Culture and Literature including 12 credits of 300-400 level course work. (NOTE: CES 151 and CES 201 are pre-requisite and are mandatory.)

• 6 credits in Internship/Service Learning/Study Abroad

The program of study must fulfill an academic or career goal, include prerequisites consistent with the 300-400-level major coursework, satisfy the UCORE requirements and any additional requirements for the College of Arts and Sciences, and include language proficiency appropriate to the cultural area. The area studies major will consist of a minimum of 61 credits. Students are admitted to the Bachelor of Arts in Foreign Languages & Cultures / Spanish - Latin American and Latinx Studies upon making their intentions known to the School of Languages, Cultures and Race. However, no course in which C- or lower is earned will be counted toward the major. 300-400-level courses taken pass/ fail may not be included for credit toward the major. No course may be repeated for credit toward the major unless thus designated in the catalog.

The film studies minor also teaches students how to discern the cinematic and narrative features that are used in cinematography and how culture can influence them. The study of film encourages critical thinking, respect for cultural diversity, and detailed knowledge of film as a text of facts and ideas.

The minor’s program of studies is designed by the student in collaboration with the coordinator and /or the advisor. A minimum of 18 credits is required and must include 9 credits of upper-division work earned in WSU courses or through WSU-approved education abroad or educational exchange courses. Two core courses (6 credits) are required providing the foundation for the study of film based in the Humanities and constitute an introduction to the various disciplines in which film analysis is anchored: FOR LANG 110; and one from PHIL 210, SOC 372, or DTC 208.

Global and Ethnic Narrative Traditions

A systematic approach to the study of a variety of regional myths, and global, ethnic, and racial narrative traditions in their original context as well as in more contemporary reinterpretations through literature and film and other cultural arenas, with the aim to challenge and resituate dominant views about race and ethnicity, gender, social classes, and different political practices. When we consider how contemporary writers, filmmakers, poets, playwrights, painters, music composers, and other cultural producers use the forms and elements of these storytelling practices we can more effectively analyze how these narratives have the power to articulate political ideas as well as social and cultural transformations. In this manner, the program develops our students’ critical thinking and encourages them to re-interpret the place of the self as an identity culturally situated. Narratives to be studied address specific topics related to gender (representations of women, men, homosexuality, etc.), age (representations of childhood, youth, the elderly, etc.), history (representations of war, revolutions, dictatorships, democratization, etc.), culture and society (gendered roles, race, nature, religion, social classes, immigration, etc.), to mention a few.

Completion of the minor requires 18 credits including a required core (6 credits) and 12 credits of electives. At least 9 credits of approved coursework must be earned in WSU courses at the 300-400 level. No courses taken Pass/Fail will count towards the 18-credit requirement.

Global Studies

Global studies examine economic, political, social, cultural, and scientific practices in a transnational and cross-cultural perspective. The Global Studies minor is designed to provide students with an integrated exposure to globally related scholarship across the disciplines, and encourages a student in any major discipline to think in terms of the globalization that marks the contemporary world. The program of study is designed to provide an exciting interdisciplinary global perspective on the arts, humanities, social sciences, and sciences.
