Learning Outcomes
| The course aims to ground students in a theoretical understanding of the current literature on the subject. The relevant issues will be contextualised through ethnographies, covering themes such as transnational identity, religious practices, and diasporic media production. The course will encourage students to examine concepts such as 'diaspora', 'identity', 'intersticiality', and 'hybridity' from a critical perspective.
