HUM-397 ETHNIC STUDIES SPECIAL TOPICS

Courses taught under this heading focus on the distinctive social, political, cultural, linguistic and historical experiences of ethnic groups in the United States. These courses explore through verbal and non-verbal texts the ways places are represented as home, exile, or myth and how these representations affect the sense of self, gender, family, community, history, memory and nationalism. Additionally, special topics courses taught in this category include those grounded in postcolonial theory, i.e., examining texts as an assertion of power against colonialism and as agencies for exploring experimental or alternative forms of artistic expressions.
