Academic Year 2004/2005
Junior Colloquium: Methodologies in Ethnic Studies
AMST 207 FA
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 comparitive and interdisciplinary scholarship.
