Cíle předmětu
The courses main objective is to examine key theoretical debates on racism, ethnicity and nationalism. Sociology of Ethnicity and Racism critically assesses the ways in which concepts such as race, ethnicity and nation are used in social science, political and everyday discourse. The course explores competing explanatory frameworks and analyses of ethnicity, racism and nationalism. We will debate the meaning and significance of multiculturalism, assimilation, acculturation and integration. The course also emphasises the intersections of ethnicity and social inequalities. Drawing on historical and comparative examples, this course develops a critical engagement with conventional understandings and current concepts including cultural racism.
