This seminar analyzes contemporary theories of nationalism and identity. Students will examine the complexities of building a nation-state: how diaspora groups challenge national identity, how subnational groups threaten national cohesion, and how gender relations reevaluate social hierarchies. By utilizing modern case studies across Europe and the Middle East, participants will utilize multidisciplinary approaches to analyze the rise of contemporary nationalism. (Prerequisites: SSGS711)
