BORDERS, BOUNDARIES AND ETHNIC

Catalog description

Ethnic groups in China can be found in both remote border regions and metropolitan areas. None of them live in complete isolation, or in 'primitive' society. On the contrary, most of them have always lived in conditions of diversity through interactions with neighboring groups, dominant ethnic groups as well as various states. This course will explore the intersections of ethnicity, religion, gender, health, media and politics through case studies of ethnic peoples in both China's borders and cities. Highlighting how and why people construct and cross boundaries, this course sheds new light on being a global citizen. 001657
