Junior Colloquium: Methodologies in Ethnic Studies
AMST 207
Fall 2005
| Section:
01
|
This seminar is geared toward exploring a wide variety of approaches to ethnic studies. We will examine methodologies within this field by attending to a selection of recuperated histories within a range of different geographical sites and regions, communities, and political terrains. We will focus on race, class, gender, and sexuality as interconnected categories of analysis in research methods by turning to particular studies of colonization and sovereignty, citizenship, immigration, political activism and resistance, enfranchisement and civil rights, religion, diaspora, cultural production, and self-determination. Readings will include historical, literary, sociological, and anthropological works, as well as comparative and interdisciplinary scholarship. |
