Fall 2023 (Online Session B) Arizona State University Instructor: Sangmi Lee, D.Phil. Assistant Professor of Anthropology School of Social and Behavioral Sciences Zoom Office Hours: Tue 2:30-4:00pm, Thu 10:00-11:00am, & by appointment (in Arizona time) Phone: (602)543-6933 E-mail: slee113@asu.edu or sangmi.lee@asu.edu Zoom: https://asu.zoom.us/j/5189437912 Website: https://isearch.asu.edu/profile/1019432 Not only is migration such a broad topic that can be examined and understood in various ways, we also undoubtedly live in a world and “age” of migration. Whether we ourselves are migrants and/or descendants of migrant families or have never migrated, our lives are closely related to the impact of migration. As part of migrant families and communities, we may engage in various transnational socioeconomic, cultural, and political relationships across national borders. As the members of a nation-state, we experience the presence of migrants and their contribution in our everyday lives by consuming products or services provided by them and interacting with them. In this context, this course will focus on contemporary events and cases of migration with reference to cultural contexts at a global level from a comparative and interdisciplinary perspective. We will learn about theories and key concepts about migration through the lens of “culture” by examining the cultural identities, activities, and practices of migrants and their communities within and across national borders. Throughout the course, students will achieve the following goals: • Develop a holistic and balanced understanding of migration, migrants, and their impacts within and beyond national boundaries. • Develop a comparative perspective about the contexts and dynamics of migration from a global level. • Examine the complexities of migration based on internal differences, individual experiences, and multiple socioeconomic and political factors that influence their communities. • Increase cultural sensitivity toward migrants and cultural differences brought by them. • Discuss the ways to become a culturally responsible global citizen who can coexist with and contribute to communities of cultural diversities.

Fall 2023 (Online Session B) Arizona State University This online course is scheduled for Fall 2023 Session B and starts on October 11 (Wednesday). Each module starts on Wednesday and ends on Tuesday the following week (except Module 7, which ends on Thursday). All of your required course assignments including quizzes and discussion posts are due Tuesday, 11:59pm, Arizona time, except for Module 7 (due Thursday, November 30). At the end of this syllabus, a full course schedule for the semester with tasks and deadlines is included. Please note that Arizona does not participate in Daylight Savings Time, and it is students’ responsibility to consider time zone differences to make sure all required work is submitted on time. The course consists of seven modules on Canvas and includes recorded lectures, course readings, partial lecture slides, and supplementary/optional visual and reading materials. Although you will take the course on your own, it is designed to enable your engagement and interactive learning experiences through lecture slides, discussion post, and course assignments. In order to help you prepare for each module and take notes while watching the lectures, partial lecture slides with blanks to fill in will be posted. You can print them out or download them to your device and take notes while watching the recorded lectures. These partial lecture slides are identical to the original lectures except that they will not have the lectures’ visual and supporting materials. Canvas: Throughout the semester, Canvas will be used by the instructor to post announcements, e-mail students, and upload course-related materials. It will be the platform for students to access all course-related materials, participate in discussions, upload their assignments, take the quizzes, and contact the instructor. Each module on Canvas consists of: 1) Course readings (.pdf) 2) Partial lecture slides (with blanks to fill in, .pptx) 3) Lecture recordings (with captions) & supplementary/optional visual and reading materials (URLs) 4) Discussion Board 5) Quiz 6) Writing Assignment It is recommended that for each module, students complete the course readings and check the partial lecture slides before reviewing the lecture recordings so that they are better prepared to understand the materials covered in lecture. After this is done, students then participate in the discussion board, take quizzes, and work on their writing assignment (if they chose the one assigned for that module). Optional Student Participation: To enhance the student online learning experience, this course offers a couple opportunities for students to voluntarily participate in different optional activities. Both items will be posted on the Canvas Module, “Optional Student Participation”: 1) Student Introduction (Two Parts): This course has two ways for students to introduce themselves: a short Google Form with their name, major, and the reasons they are taking the course, which will be kept for instructor use only. Students can also introduce themselves to each other by posting a self- introductory comment to share with the class to Hallway Conversations, a separate page posted under this module. Students are welcome (and encouraged) to participate in one or both of these ways to introduce themselves. Course Format 2 of 11

Fall 2023 (Online Session B) Arizona State University 2) Live Group Meetings via Zoom: Throughout the course, there will be live group meetings that will be set up impromptu on a short notice. Unlike office hours, which are for one-on-one meetings between the instructor and the student, these group meetings on Zoom are open to any students who are available and can make it during the designated time to join the instructor and other students to have informal, live conversations about the course and its activities. Before each meeting, students will receive an announcement email with the Zoom link to join. Regardless of the live meeting, all students should continue to seek opportunities to meet with the instructor individually during scheduled office hours or by making an appointment via email. 1. Completion of “Welcome Packet” (13 pts): This requirement consists of short questions in quiz-style format related to the course introduction and overview as outlined in the syllabus to ensure students’ readiness to take the course. All students will be given the opportunity to take the welcome packet quiz twice and the highest score will be recorded for their grade. Each attempt will be given 40 minutes to complete. *Deadline: Module 1, Tuesday, 10/17, 11:59pm AZ time 2. Quizzes (84 pts=12 pts x 7 modules): Each module will be followed by a short set of True/False questions about the materials covered in the assigned course readings and lecture videos. Supplementary and optional materials will not be included in the quiz questions (they are for your interest and reference, and you can use them in your discussion posts or writing assignment). You will be given ten questions (1.2 pts each) randomized from a large pool and 40 minutes to complete the quiz. There will be a total of seven quizzes, one for each module. You are required to take all of them to demonstrate your successful completion of the course. *Deadline: Tuesday, 11:59pm, AZ time for each module. 3. Discussion Posts & Responses (140 pts=20 pts x 7 modules): Each module contains a discussion question. You are required to both 1) post your response to the question and 2) respond to one of the other students’ posts. Your discussion posts should be written after reviewing the recorded lecture and completing the course readings. You can also use supplementary materials and optional readings in your response posts. Students who complete only one of these requirements (either just posting their own response or just responding to another post) will receive only partial points. More detailed information will also be provided on Discussion Board on Canvas under each module. *Deadline: Tuesday, 11:59pm of AZ time of each module. 4. One Writing Assignment (75 pts): Each module, except Module 1 and Module 7, will contain a unique, short essay-style writing assignment related to the themes and content of the corresponding module. You will need to choose only one module assignment based on your own interests and submit it by the last day of the next module (you have approximately 10 business days to work on it). For example, if you decide to submit the writing assignment posted for Module 2, the deadline is Tuesday the week after, when Module 3 ends. See each module on Canvas for topics and further details. There are no writing assignments for Module 1 and Module 7. *Deadline: Tuesday, 11:59pm AZ time except for Module 6. Course Requirements 3 of 11
