PHL 299 - Post Colonial and Diaspora Studies: Interdisciplinary Honors Seminar

3

Course Description: This course will connect the studies of race, ethnicity, culture, indigeneity, colonialism, empire, transnational migration, and diaspora across national, hemispheric, transnational, and global frames. This course prioritizes knowledge drawn from struggles for social justice and political sovereignty, with attention to class, gender, sexuality, language, caste, nationality, and other kinds of social difference and hierarchy. This course draws on insights and methodologies of multiple disciplines, yoking together the interdisciplinary fields of Native American and Indigenous Studies, Cultural Studies, Postcolonial Studies, African and Black Diaspora Studies, and involves inquiry into the contestations, resistances, contradictions, and dialectics of social power, and the Indigenous, Black, and Global South futures that emerge as a result.
Prerequisite(s): Completion of ENG 101 with a B or better; or by permission of Honors Director
