AA30203 SOCIOLOGY OF MIGRATION

The aim of this course is to provide students with a theoretical knowledge of migration in global and national dimensions and to

enable students to study contemporary migration movements within the framework of theories. It enables students to

obtain knowledge about main migration theories, to understand and analyze migration processes from the sociological

perspective. This course offers a comprehensive overview of the key current theoretical debates in the study of international

migration. It emphasizes exploring both the theoretical debates of the field and the empirical data and case studies on which these

49

debates hinge. The perspective of this course is primarily sociological, but it also leans heavily on notions from other

disciplines (such as Economics, Law, Political Science, Geography, and Anthropology). The course not only deals with

migration and its causes as such, but also with processes and phenomena that develop in the aftermath of migration, such as

integration,assimilation, and transnationalism.

AA30303 ENVIRONMENTAL SOCIOLOGY

This course examines environmental problems in Malaysia and in other Southeast Asian countries. Discussions about how these

environmental problems contribute to deforestation, biodiversity loss, soil degradation and land slips, as well as river pollution will

be presented in a way that appears to be based on scientific evidence. Yet, on closer examination such evidence may

have an deological component. Using sociological tools of analysis, this course provides a contextual understanding

of environmental change and how such change is understood at local and international levels. It further examines the role of

science especially the way in which science is used by different interests in defining environmental problems. Also

evaluated is the way in which differences in political and economic power influence the range of responses to social issues

associated with environmental problems, and the way decisions are made about their solution and implementation.

AA30903 GENDER ISSUES

The aim of this course is to introduce students to diverse theories that explain gender issues, specifically gender inequality and

gender relations in contemporary society. This course is intended to provide a critical perspective of how different

51

socie-ties construct gender identity, and gender roles, and how the consequences of such constructions affect institutions, culture

and society. The discussion in this course is divided into four main sections. The first deals with the ideas, concepts and meth-ods

of studying gender and gender inequality in a society. The second section focuses on the major theories of gender analy-sis,

and the comparison of those perspectives. The third section further discusses the theories related to gender issues by

applying the relevant theory to groups that had been marginalized in the previous theoretical discussions. Finally, in the fourth

section, the course addresses the issues that were raised by feminists in their research related to gender. Much of this section will

be spent discussing empirical research in relation to the theories that were discussed in the previous sections.

AG31503 SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT (SIA)

This course will begin by focusing on the historical, epistemological, and ideological aspects of SIA as currently practiced and as

idealized by various practitioners. Students will be introduced to the early stages of conducting an SIA. Important steps in the

beginning of any SIA involve determining: 1) the manner in which the public and various interested parties will be involved in the

process; 2) the exact nature of the project, event or policy and any alternative scenarios regarding its future development; 3) the

baseline conditions existing in a community prior to the advent of the projected change; 4) the anticipated impacts on

social and physical; and 5) monitoring and evaluation. The course will continue by focusing on geographical research

techniques that can be used to examine the anticipated impacts and to discover previously unanticipated impacts or affected

groups. Finally, the course will reflect on the implications of SIA research, theory and practice. As such, students should

come away equipped with the ability to understand, interpret and design a full pladge implementation of SIA project.

AJ20603 SOUTHEAST ASIAN HISTORY: COLONIALISM AND IMPERIALISM

This course is the second part of a three-semester survey of Southeast Asian history from early times to the present. The

course dwells on the historical development of the region during the period of Western imperialism and the

Japanese interregnum. The time period is roughly from the mid 19th century AD to about

1945, but this is extended to a brief discussion on the impact of Japanese occupation on the colonies, particularly the

rise of nationalism. However, it is necessary to explain something of the foregoing basis of that history. It stresses features

that are common and those which are not. Emphasis shall be given to the motivational factors of the imperialist powers, the

establishment of colonial regimes, structural changes implemented on the political, economic and social dimensions, and the

effects of imperialism on the colonies.

AJ21903 SOUTHEAST ASIAN HISTORY: PRE-COLONIALISM

This is an introductory course to the history of Southeast Asia before colonialism. It focuses on the historical development of the

region from the proto-classical period (from 3rd century B.C) to post classical (18 th century A.D). Located between the

Chinese and Indic civilizations, Southeast Asia has been a region of striking diversity where for more than two thousand years the

complex indigenous cultures encountered with and were enriched by world’s major influences-from major religions like Hinduism,

Buddhism, Islam, and Confucianism to Western influences. Yet what makes the region distinctive is also the subtle commonality

of local polities, societies and cultures. The complex traditions which have shaped the history of the region are very much alive

today despite colonisation and Westernisation over the past hundred years. This course explores both the important phases of

changes and major issues before colonialism. Among the issues covered in this course are the early settlements, state formation

and development from a simple polity to an empire, and influences from the Indic, Chinese, and Western civilizations.

continent in the beginning of what soon became known as the Cold War. It follows the absorption of the aftershocks of the

Holocaust, the reconstruction and reorganization of Europe, the Americanization of the Western, and the Sovietization of

the Eastern half of the continent. It will take an in-depth look at the first moves toward a European federation which, on a long

and often bumpy road led to the creation of a European Union, which compasses now most European states. It will give

equal weight to Eastern as well as to Western Europe and will examine the collapse of the Soviet Union and the

democratization of Eastern Europe.
