(i) Class participation and discussion: 10%

Attendance is not necessary only if someone can finish all class requirements in a timely manner. As one cannot attend some class, please keep the instructor/ TA informed via email before the class. Each one could have two excuses to be absent from the regular classes; otherwise, provide with a reasonable proof for absence. During the classes, positively engaging in class activities of various forms will definitely help establish a more ideal and comfortable learning environment for all of us.

(ii) Reading guides: 20%

Each student is required to guide two related readings in class, one selected from the weekly required readings below and the other (as an independent study) depending on which minority issue the presenters consider more polemic in their own country. The sign-up schedule for reading guides shall be announced online shortly after the add-drop period (Week 2). The presentation of guided readings should include: (1) generalizing each full paper in a simple, perspicuous way, (2) explaining research methods used, analyses adopted, data and findings provided, (3) indicating strength and weakness, such as implications and limitations, and (4) providing 1 to 2 potential issues/topics for discussion or a follow-up Q&A session, ideally 30 to 50 mins long. Adopt the first-person point of view as to present your own study in a conference context.

(iii) Assignments: 20%

-Assignment 1: Follow the Social Identity Theory to make predictions and hypotheses on one of those ongoing ethnic conflicts, i.e. War in Ukraine, Israeli–Palestinian conflict, Syrian civil war, the Sahel Conflict, and so forth.

-Option 2: Propose three other minority issues that you would be more interested in. Explain their relevance to this course in one paragraph, and provide three critical journal articles for each topic.

(v) Individual Final Project: 35%

The individual project needs to be presented and composed with an academic conference format. The presentation includes a mid-term project proposal (approximately 8-10 min presentation & 3-5 min Q/A session) and a final report (approximately 15-20 min presentation & 5 min Q/A session). The final paper adopts the IEEE conference proceeding template (approximately 2000 to 3500 words in 4 to 6 pages).
