Subject:

Description:

This course allows students to explore the relationship between language and ethnic identity from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. The last few decades have seen an "ethnic revival," a desire on the part of ethnic groups to regain proficiency in their heritage language and increase the chances for the survival of their culture. The first part of the course will allow students to explore the issue of language and cultural identity from a variety of disciplinary perspectives: historical, educational, sociological, political, psychological, etc. We will then explore specific traditions, languages, and communities around the world (the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Pacific). Course satisfies an intercultural requirement or LA 112.
