Pan Afrikan Social Modemets: Past, Present and Future -- Study Abroad

6 credits · Undergraduate

Pan-Afrikan Social Movements: Past, Present and Future is an immersive study abroad experience based in Ghana. Through site-based experiences, weekly lectures and weekly interactive workshops, students will examine Black/Afrikan Liberation Stories. This course will provide students with an in-depth perspective/case study from the historical trajectory of the Ghanaian Independence Movement which saw revolutionary scholar and leader, Kwame Nkrumah, theorize “liberation” and engage in revolutionary praxis under the banner of Pan-Africanism. The course will also provide insight to students on modern day Black-led movements for liberation and give them space to dialogue on the progress, obstacles, failures and successes of movement work.
