Course objectivesIn recent years, 'transnationalism' has become a common reference across the social sciences. Moving beyond theoretical approaches to the study of global social phenomena that have traditionally centered on the nation state as the central conceptual unit of analysis, transnational studies considers social life as the constantly evolving product of multiple economic, political, cultural and historical factors that manifest across ‘social fields.’This course charts the evolution of transnational studies from a sociological standpoint, taking into account multiple forms of regional, international and local scales, identities and scopes of inquiry. We will compare and contrast transnational dynamics in various social spheres – the state, the economy, the family, education, religion and civil society – to rethink assumptions about identity, sovereignty, citizenship and the political economy.Utilizing theoretical work and empirical research from sociology, history, politics, economics, anthropology and cultural studies, we explore the ways that transnational practices and processes manifest, relate to, and inform each other in different domains, and at different levels of social interaction, affecting the organization of social life during different historical periods.By the end of the semester, students should be able to:• Define and discuss the concept of transnationalism• Review and analyze its historical evolution• Compare and contrast transnational practices in different domains and at different levels of social interaction• Apply a sociological lens for analysis of transnational phenomena in various social spheres, including the state, the economy, the family, education, religion and civil society• Assess and apply transnational research methods
