It is undeniable that the contradictions, new values, and enigmas arising from the interplay between advanced technology and the specific challenges of a developing nation demand the fostering and development of critical, creative, and sensitive thinking in the face of present-day paradoxes. It is in the humanities that the pedagogical tools and the theoretical-critical-methodological perspectives for studying, explaining, and providing the keys to understanding human activity within its historical context are concentrated. Humanists, therefore, have the opportunity, the social commitment, and the ethical and moral duty to confront the new challenges of the present, establishing the link between local problems and global dynamics. The Master's Program in Critical Language Studies, situated within the humanities, addresses these challenges.
The Master's Program in Critical Language Studies is a research-oriented, on-campus graduate program that considers studying, analyzing, and understanding language to foster complex, analytical, and reflective thinking, capable of recognizing problems, proposing solutions, and generating knowledge relevant to global and local demands. Therefore, it takes language in its broad complexity as its central focus and object of study: as a literary art, as a mother tongue and second language, as a linguistic system, and as a space for dialogue and knowledge of the other and of otherness. Its study requires situating it within the framework of diverse ideologies and specific sociocultural environments that reveal its vitality and undeniable metamorphosis. From a critical and interdisciplinary perspective, which incorporates the concerns raised here, it proposes three areas of specialization that will guide the graduate student's training:
1. Critical Linguistics
2. Literatures in context
3. Research and teaching of Spanish
