Interdisciplinary program
Where is home? Need it be in one place? Is it always attached to territory? Diaspora and transnational studies examines the historical and contemporary movements of peoples and the complex problems of identity and experience to which these movements give rise as well as the creative possibilities that flow from movement. The program is comparative and interdisciplinary, drawing from the social sciences, history and the arts. Students are required to take a year long course that offers an introduction to a broad array of themes and disciplinary methodologies. The program offers a wide selection of additional courses, giving students the opportunity to learn about a range of diasporic communities as well as key debates in the field.

The 199Y1 and 199H1 seminars are designed to provide the opportunity to work closely with an instructor in a class of no more than twenty-four students. These interactive seminars are intended to stimulate the students’ curiosity and provide an opportunity to get to know a member of the professorial staff in a seminar environment during the first year of study. Details can be found at www.artsci.utoronto.ca/current/course/fyh-1/.
What is the relationship between place and belonging, between territory and memory? How have the experiences of migration and dislocation challenged the modern assumption that the nation-state should be the limit of identification? What effect has the emergence of new media of communication had upon the coherence of cultural and political boundaries? All of these questions and many more form part of the subject matter of Diaspora and Transnational Studies. This introductory course ex-amines the historical and contemporary movements of peoples and the complex issues of identity and experience to which these processes give rise as well as the creative possibilities that flow from movement and being moved. The area of study is comparative and interdisciplinary, drawing from the social sciences, history, the arts and humanities. Accordingly, this course provides the background to the subject area from diverse perspectives and introduces students to a range of key debates in the field, with particular attention to questions of history, globalization, cultural production and the creative imagination.
Exclusion: DTS201H1, DTS202H1Focuses on research design and training in methods from history, geography, anthropology, literary and cultural studies, and other disciplines appropriate to Diaspora and Transnational Studies. Prepares students to undertake primary research required in senior seminars.
Prerequisite: DTS200Y1 or CJS200H1 or CJS201H1 or permission of course instructorExamines the Canadian population census through the experience of diasporic groups in Canada. Approaches the census as a statistical tool, an historical source and an ideological project of citizenship and nationalism. Uses census data to explore mathematical and statistical concepts and to integrate numerical ways of thinking with qualitative analysis. (Jointly sponsored by African Studies, Diaspora and Transnational Studies, Caribbean Studies, Equity Studies and Latin American Studies).
Prerequisite: DTS200Y1/HIS294Y1/LAS200H1/LAS201H1/NEW120Y1/NEW150Y1/NEW222Y1/NEW224Y1/NEW240Y1A scholarly project chosen by the student, approved by the Department, and supervised by one of its instructors. Consult with the Diaspora and Transnational Studies Program Office for more information. Not eligible for CR/NCR option.
Prerequisite: DTS200Y1A scholarly project chosen by the student, approved by the Department, and supervised by one of its instructors. Consult with the Diaspora and Transnational Studies Program Office for more information. Not eligible for CR/NCR option.
Prerequisite: DTS200Y1How much serious diversity can any society really tolerate? Postcolonial migrancy and the resulting diasporas/dispersions present not only a new cultural diversity and richness but also problematic differences that challenge social, political and epistemological categories. This advanced interdisciplinary class explores the co-constitutive relationship between Cosmopolitanism, Diaspora and Literature and will pay particular attention to questions of identity, home, citizenship, colonialism, migration, culture, the transnational conditions of diasporic existence and various other topics at the intersection of the three key concepts.
Prerequisite: DTS200Y1 or equivalent and a minimum of 15 FCEsThis course surveys and compares the most recent studies on trade diasporas across the Eurasian continent, Indian Ocean and South China Sea during the two centuries. Case studies are drawn from the Indian, Chinese, Lebanese and other longstanding migrant communities. We will explore the developments of transcultural exchanges and hybrid identities, symbolic capital and entrepreneurship as well as the impact of the rise of European hegemony and capitalist modernity on these mobilities. Attention is also paid on the negative portrayals of these communities as “economic predators” during the middling decades of the twentieth century and the postcolonial impact.
Prerequisite: DTS200Y1 or equivalent and a minimum of 15 FCEsFood links people across space and time. As it spirals outward from parochial sites of origin to articulate with new sites, actors and scales, it assumes new substance and meaning in new locales. This movement of food gives rise to new ‘foodways’ t help us to understand the past in terms of temporally connected sites of intense interaction. Food also plays a strong role in shaping translocal identities. As peoples have moved in the world, food has played a central role in (re)defining who they are, reproducing myth and ritual, and bounding diasporic communities. This course seeks to address questions surrounding the dynamics of the food ‘we’ eat, the ways in which ‘we’ eat, the meaning ‘we’ give to eating, and the effect of eating in a transnational world. Recognizing that culinary culture is central to diasporic identifications, the focus is on the place of food in the enduring habits, rituals, and everyday practices that are collectively used to produce and sustain a shared sense of diasporic cultural identity.
Prerequisite: DTS200Y1 or equivalent and a minimum of 15 FCEsWhat is the place and significance of diasporas in relation to cosmopolitanism and transnationalism, on the one hand, and to displacement and statelessness, on the other? In a time where uprootedness has become an almost global human condition, how do we police the borders between "us" and "them" or draw the line between exiles, refugees, and migrants? How are different experiences of diaspora expressed in, and worked through, literature and what can fiction teach us about the constitution of diasporas? This seminar will explore these and similar questions by addressing some of the current theoretical debates about the political role of diasporas, as well as literary texts on diasporic experiences. It will place special emphasis on the cases of the Jewish and the Palestinian diasporas and on the role of gender, class, and ethnicity in the configuration of communities and of free movement. Readings may include works by Jacqueline Kahanoff, Hannah Arendt, Edward Said, Ghassan Kanafani, Judith Butler, Daniel Boyarin, Ronit Matalon, and Sahar Khalifeh. All required readings are in English or in English translation (students interested in the original Arabic or Hebrew texts are welcome to contact me for a copy).
Prerequisite: DTS200Y1 or equivalent, or CJS200H1 or CJS201H1 and a minimum of 15 FCEsAn in-depth investigation of topics in Diaspora and Transnationalism. Content in any given year depends on instructor.
Prerequisite: DTS200Y1 or equivalent and a minimum of 15 FCEsThis course is designed to critically examine a rising commodification of migratory flows, in the form of trafficking in persons for the purpose of labour and sexual exploitation, by addressing this problem in an interdisciplinary fashion as it relates to migration, economics, politics, and security. The course will provide a comprehensive overview of current global/local responses in legislation, policy and practice, including measures taken to address the 4 Ps: protection, prosecution, prevention and partnerships. The course will address novel analytical approaches and methodologies specifically focusing on the role that diasporic networks play in countries of origin and destination as well as in transit.

DTS200Y1 or equivalent and a minimum of 15 FCEs
