DWA 342 Junior Seminar: Transnational Identity and International Relations
This class will explore the various aspects of transnational identities, focusing on ways in which they challenge state borders and state nationalisms. The various aspects of transnational identities, like questions of citizenship, ethnicity, religion, gender, and generation will be analyzed. Special attention will be given to the ways in which Islamic beliefs have transcended state boundaries and the impact this has had on notions of citizenship. The class will also focus on a few case studies to highlight the various aspects of transnational identity. Open only to DWA majors with junior or senior standing.
