Curanderos, remedios y espiritualidad: Chicano/Latino healing practices

Understanding Chicano/Latino curandero traditions, remedios, brujeria and spirituality provides insights into the importance of such healing practices in everyday Chicano/Latino life. Through this course, we examine curanderismo and folk healing practices from interdisciplinary and cross-cultural perspectives to understand the mestizo and indigenous healing practices of Chicanos/Latinos. How intersections of gender, race, class, and sexuality inform such practices and traditions is also explored in this course.
