Information, Technology, and Society in Asia 125
Social Inequality and Religion: South and East Asia Compared
THIS COURSE WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLINE
PLUS IF SITUATION ALLOWS WE WILL HAVE A HALF DAY FIELD VISIT IN TOKYO IN DEC.
The seminar style intensive course provides comparative perspectives for the understanding of the political, social and cultural significance of social inequality in South and East Asia. The course particularly focuses on issues relating to the ideas and practices of ‘untouchability' in India and Japan and explores its religious dimensions.
Students will gain a basic understanding of discrimination in both historical and contemporary Asian societies. They will be covering important academic debates and contributions from the diverse disciplines of history, sociology, anthropology, and literature/film studies. They will also watch films on the topic and make a museum trip in order to broaden their insights and understanding.
By the end of the course will have developed a strong theoretical framework with which to interpret, compare and contrast multiple aspects of social inequality in Asian societies.
