Why do we walk—and what do we discover along the way? Spanning Spain, Portugal, Latin America, and the U.S.–Mexico Borderlands, this seminar explores walking as a physical act and metaphor for transformation, pilgrimage, protest, and self-discovery. Through literature, film, journalism, music, murals, and architecture, we’ll examine how creative and political figures—from Cervantes to Neruda, and from Afro-Brazilian pilgrims to contemporary migrants—have navigated landscapes and life’s journey. Optional walks, community engagement, and intergenerational discussions offer students a unique opportunity to reflect on their own paths while connecting with broader human stories. Engaging and interdisciplinary, the course highlights the power of walking to shape art, culture, and identity across time and space.
