HIST 201W- Diaspora in Middle Eastern, South Asian, and African Histories. Prof Stacy Fahrenthold- sfahrenthold@ucdavis.edu.
Mondays 3:10-6:00pm SOCSCI 4202
This is a course in comparative world history dealing with modern (post-1800) diaspora across three world regions: the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia. Together we read and discuss critical theory in diaspora, mobility, colonialism, and border making/border subversion alongside new monographs using these ideas across world regions. Students prepare weekly reading responses culminating to a critical essay on world historical “source-making” as it relates to their primary research field. Occasional presentation of readings required.
Course Learning Objectives: by the end of this course:
- Students will understand the history, core questions, and fundamental critiques advanced by scholars in diaspora and mobility studies, as well as area studies counter-critiques.
- Students will articulate how theories of diaspora/mobility iterate across multiple world regions, and will assess these claims comparatively (world history competency).
Students will analyze how diaspora/mobility theory influences their own major field, constructing a possible intervention for further research.
