Still figuring out your schedule for fall 2025? Consider enrolling in ITAL 41403/51403: Tracing the Italian American Experience. The course counts for undergraduate or graduate credit. It meets on Tuesdays from 3:30-6:15 p.m. and is taught in English.

Tracing the Italian American Experience is an interdisciplinary course that explores Italian American migration to the United States. The course aims not only to share a historical review of the Italian American experience in North America through screen studies, but also to analyze the stereotypical (or not) representation that Italian Americans have received through the media, literature and the arts.

There is also a didactic unit on Italians in the South/Arkansas. The course will host a few guest speakers, local and international, and we visit the Tontitown Museum as a class.
