Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 4
Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 4

This COR 2 course begins and ends with “action in solidarity” with Latin American immigrants struggling for justice. Study includes investigation of a variety of Latin American Theologies of Liberation as they have found expression in the spiritualties (worldviews, beliefs, values, practices and lifestyles) and writings (essays, sermons, letters, theological treatises, and poetry) of theologian/practitioners from each of the three generations of Latin American Liberationists. In each case, the historical, political, economic and ecclesial contexts of la lucha will be examined as students discover the intimate connection in their own lives between action, study/reflection, and spirituality in the praxis of liberation theology. Includes a minimum of 20-hours community engagement. This course is an elective in the HONORS program and for the Latin American Studies Minor.

Prerequisite(s): Completion of COR 1 or COR 199 or COR 199 in progress; two full-time semesters of college credit, excluding retro credits, AP credits, and college credit earned while in high school; I-, T-, W- tags or their equivalents.
