Spring 2007. KRISTA MCQUEENEY. An in-depth examination of a key framework in the social sciences known as intersectionality. Intersectionality holds that we cannot understand people's experience and identity without taking into account their multiple locations in the social structure. Explores the implications of intersectionality for theory and practice. On a theoretical level, paying attention to people's position along multiple, intersecting axes of power often requires us to revise, and sometimes even dispense with, long-held theoretical assumptions in the social sciences. On a practical level, unless service providers take intersectionality into account, they will be less effective- and perhaps even detrimental-for certain segments of the population. Develops new insights on sociological paradigms and new directions for activism in pursuit of social justice. (Same as Gender and Women's Studies 267.) Note: This course is offered as part of the curriculum in Gay and Lesbian Studies.

Fall 2006. NANCY RILEY. Examines Hawai'i as a site of cultural encounter. Topics include the ways that Hawai'i's tourism industry is connected to constructions of and consumption of ethnic identities by those within and outside Hawai'i; the ways historical and contemporary encounters between different ethnic groups (Hawai'ian, haole, Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Pacific Islanders) have created the contemporary Hawaiian social landscape; and the relations between mainland United States and Hawai'ian culture and politics, particularly the rising Hawai'ian sovereignty movement. Draws from theories of ethnic tourism, race/ethnicity, and colonialism. Prerequisite: Two previous courses in either anthropology or sociology.
