Class Objectives
/Class Outline Minority studies is an interdisciplinary field of study, which requires students to establish an approach drawing on the outcomes from case studies and theoretical arguments in the disciplines distinct from their own. In this seminar, the students are going to critically reviews the findings and arguments from a wide range of disciplines and compare and reappreciate their own specialist knowledge and abilities, and thereby to develop innovative approaches to the issues in minority studies. In the first part of the seminar, the students get inspiration for project and develop a proposal, based on reflections from reading and discussion; and in the second part, they implement the proposed project and share the findings and arguments by oral presentation and final project report. Intensive reading of academic papers within temporal limit builds reading comprehension capacity of the students.
