Chinese Immigration in Global Perspective

This course will focus on the Chinese immigrant experience in New York City, while placing it in the context of Chinese migration to the US and the history of Chinese migration globally. The course will utilize historical texts, ethnographies, lectures, and films to examine the Chinese immigrant experience. Students will engage in ethnographic fieldwork research projects that will involve hands-on study of a Chinese community organization, chosen in consultation with the instructor. This course is equivalent to SOC 4010. Students may receive credit for either SOC 4010 or AAS 4010. These courses may not substitute for each other in the F-grade replacement policy. For students with two other upper-level (3000-level or above) Sociology or Anthropology courses, this may serve as a capstone for either the Sociology or the Anthropology Tier III minor.
