Reminders:
If you still have not submitted your article review , you need to do it as soon as possible.
Bring it with you for our next class.
Please note that reading is essential, especially if you want to grasp the multifaceted phenomena such as ethnic, national identity and racism, etc. We only have a very limited time and cannot cover all the texts in class. Your guideline for how much to read should be at least about 30 pages of new material each week.
If in doubt, please refer back to the Lecture 1 guidelines and requirements. For those of you who have missed more than a couple of lectures please note that attendance is required and it will be a part of your final grade.
