SOCI 348 - Constructing Immigrant Communities


Next Offered: 2019-2020

Semester Offered: First Semester
Full Course
Credits: 4 credits
Attribute: 4SS

Why do people migrate? What kinds of jobs do they attain, and with what impact on other groups? Why and when do they maintain transnational communities or choose to assimilate? How does the second generation make sense of its experiences? Taking a comparative ethnic approach, we will examine immigrants’ adaptation to better understand the nation and global processes generally. We will examine how race, ethnicity, gender, class, trans-nationalism, and sexuality shape these processes.

Enrollment Limit: 25
Instructor: R. Baldoz
