Title: Borders and Migration Description: This course will consider the border politics involved in the making of transnational and transborder communities. We will explore the rights and reception of those who cross borders by first answering the question, “What is a border?” From here, we will examine geopolitical borders, but also linguistic, racial, economic, and cultural ones. Examining immigration policy and admissions policy, law enforcement along the border, media representations of migrants and natives, and the stories of border crossers, we will attempt to understand the forces that expand and constrain membership rights in these intersecting communities. How are borders constructed and contested by groups on both sides of the border? How are borders produced historically, politically, and geographically? In what ways are race, class, gender and the family shaped through this movement? In this seminar, we will examine issues of: the development of contract labor programs, legal reforms, environmental issues, and social movements. Readings will discuss the themes of cultural contact, labor, resistance, identity, race-making, citizenship, and gender.

Title: Environmental Issues within Indigenous Communities. Description: Together we will develop an understanding of Native American and Environmental history as it relates to the history of environmental issues of Indigenous communities. We will focus on themes that chronicle the Indigenous experience, such as: Contact, Colonization, Contamination, and Climate Change. To provide a framework, we will focus on four geographically diverse regions: California & the West, Hawaii & the Pacific, the southwest U.S. and the Arctic.
