Diaspora & Translation This course introduces students to the rich tradition of literature about and by Greeks in America over the past century, exploring questions of ethnic identity, gender and language. Students examine how contemporary debates in diaspora studies and translation theory can inform each other and how both, in turn, can inform a discussion of the writing of the Greek American experience in histories, novels, poetry, travel literature, performance art and films. Authors include Kazan, Gage, Broumas, Spanidou, Galas, Selz, Papandreou, and Petrakis.

This seminar will consider what role race and racism plays in U.S. culture, politics, economics and foreign policy. Beginning with the origins of racial slavery, we will examine how, when and whether the subsequent development of racial systems - and challenges to them - shaped historical developments in the United States. African American history will be at the core of our discussion, though we will examine works that consider Latino, Asian and American Indian history as well. Through a survey of theories about "race relations" and discussions about affirmative action, immigration, empire and rights, this seminar will ponder the question of what a "colorblind" society might mean and how it could come about.
