ASIA 2290

Students will examine South Asian diasporas – across religious, ethnic and national boundaries – as they exist outside their homelands, with special focus on the South Asian communities in Canada. They will examine social theory related to South Asian migration and social adaptation as well as look at contemporary concerns related to globalization and transnationalism. Students will also investigate social issues that people often face in the process of adaptation to a new country at the personal, community, and societal levels. In doing so, students will have an opportunity to engage in experiential learning. This course is cross-listed with SOCI 2290. Students may earn credit for only one of these courses.
