| This interdisciplinary module will analyse current debates about multiculturalism and controversies over cultural diversity in a globalised world. The focus is on comparative and interdisciplinary studies of identity formation in multicultural societies such as Mauritius, the United States, and Australia. Students will read texts across cultures and engage with the following questions: What does 'multiculturalism' mean in each national context? What is the place of multiculturalism in national discourse, education, politics, and the media? What are the criteria of citizenship? What does a national identity include and exclude? How does multiculturalism connect with globalisation? |
