ISLANDNESS: CULTURE, CHANGE, AND IDENTITY ON SMALL ISLANDS

Graduate

In this course students investigate the effects of insularity on small-island populations. The relationship between the population’s identity (culture, ethnicity, self-confidence) and its economic and political choices is examined. Students examine history, folklore, art, literature, anthropology, economics, and political theories in the context of “islandness.” PREREQUISITE: Admission into a UPEI graduate program, or eligibility for graduate studies SEMESTER-HOURS OF CREDIT: 3 LECTURE: 2 SEMINAR: 1
