Anthropology 320: Language and Nationalism

This course explores various cultural, political, and historical understandings of the connections between language and group identity, particularly national identity. In particular, it traces the histories and theoretical foundations of - and debates around - the idea of 'one language, one people' and uses ethnographic examples to consider how that idea has played out in contemporary social and political movements. May be taken for credit toward the Indigeneity, Race, and Ethnicity Studies major or minor.
