Course Description
This course introduces various theories of ethnicity based in a number of different points of departure: recent evolutionary and cognitive theories of groups formation, cooperation, and trust amongst non-kin; social psychological theories of ethnicity as a mode of categorization, boundary, and identity construction; and sociological and anthropological theories of ethnicity as expressions of fluid, situated, and negotiated categories. The course compares and relates these approaches to theories of religious affiliation as a means to construct and uphold social borders and to construct personal identity, and finally these insights are related to the study of nationalism and religious fundamentalism as channels of political mobilization. Throughout the course, the discussion of theoretical perspectives is combined with analyses of selected case studies.

MULTICULTRL SOCIETY
UCEAP Quarter Units

Course Description
A society is considered “multicultural” when it is comprised of various ethnic populations and/or various nationalities. One of the main challenges for multicultural societies is to develop social cohesion out of this diversity, a process that doesn't happen without tensions and conflicts. While many newcomers succeeded in integrating into their new homeland without neglecting their cultural identity, conflicts between insiders and outsiders didn't disappear. Inclusion and exclusion as well as integration and separation are processes social scientists concentrate on. The main question of this course is: how does ethnic and cultural diversity as an empirical reality lead to new forms of integration and social cohesion or to nativist backlashes - such as nationalism, xenophobia and new racisms? To answer this question it is not sufficient to regard only the foreigners or aliens as problematic; each society - including all its members - stands for the problem of creating a satisfactory form of pluralism in which various groups are able to live together successfully. This implies that it is important to look at the ways nation-states give access to citizenship and how claims of migrants are acknowledged or resisted. Students are asked to (critically) examine the main question by using concepts and theories on multiculturalism derived from different disciplines. The subjects discussed within this course are: migration, multiculturalism, citizenship, refugees in Europe, settlement, acculturation, xenophobia and racism, (right-wing) populism, policies of integration, the challenge of Islam, identity, cultural diversity and cultural war(s).
