Social Inequality in Asia - 40480 - ASST 2000 - 801 | ||||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Topical Section Description: This course explores various aspects of social inequality and injustice-economic, social, legal, religious, ethnic, gender, political and sexual orientation- in Asian countries and the consequences thereof for those societies and the affected people. We examine the historical, political, institutional, economic, and socio-cultural contexts for these injustices and how different actors-perpetrators, victims, the state and non-government organizations-have and are responding to the manifest challenges. Students will read into relevant theories and methodologies in order to develop a conceptual framework for comparative analysis relevant to their own research and the overall discipline of Asian Studies. The course will focus on various case studies that help illuminate the central themes while students will conduct their own research projects on inequality and injustice and its significance for understanding the societies we study.
