Welcome to Pacific Studies 300.
This course will explore the complex issues of growing up as an ethnic member, or a bi/multi-cultural person and how these dual or multiple identities affect and/or interact with an individual’s behaviours, priorities, social relationships, and the concept of self. The concept of intra-ethnic identity will also be explored. The focus will be on NZ-born Pacific ethnic issues, however to achieve a broad understanding of ethnic issues, part of the course will use a cross-cultural perspective in which materials about other minority ethnic groups, and inter-ethnic relations in New Zealand will be examined. Case studies from other countries provide comparative global perspectives. Special emphasis will be given to class discussions, creative writing, and exchange of viewpoints.
A PACIFIC 300 Coursebook will be available
