Theory of International Interdependence II

Ethnicity, Nationalism and Education
This course aims to introduce graduate students to some classic and recent sociological studies relevant to ethnicity, nationalism, and education, and to critically discuss their contribution and limitations.

The topics we’ll cover are
- theories of ethnicity and nationalism,
- identity, culture and sense of belonging of the migrants’ youth,
- migrants’ trajectories and social integration,
- critical race theory,
- intersectionality and
- whiteness in education.

In Week 1, the course structure and our goals will be explained online. The reading list and the schedule will also be shared and the presenters will be decided.
From Week 2, students are expected to read the assignments before each class and are prepared for discussion. For each week, we’ll have one or two presenters. They are expected to present
- summary of the articles (research question, method & data, findings and conclusion)
- evaluation of the articles (strength, limitations, implications to academic field and society etc.), and
- discussion questions and ideas

At the end of the course, a student will be required to pick up one question from a list of questions and write an essay of approx. 2,000 words.

Students will be able to
- discuss the significance, contributions, and limitations of each paper, and
- discuss the essay question, based on the assigned literature.
