Topics in Anti-Colonialism

3 Credits · Level: Graduate, Undergraduate

In Topics in Anti-Colonialism, students will be asked to engage with global anti-colonial resistance movements. This engagement will include researching primary source material from global anti-colonial resistance movements, reading anti-colonial, anti-imperial, and decolonial theory, and co-theorizing key threshold topics like: oppression, resistance, resurgence, coalition, and solidarity. Upon completion of this course, students will have gained insight into the social political, epistemological, and ethical philosophical underpinnings of global anti-colonial resistance and be able to make philosophical connections between historical and contemporary resistance movements. Since this course is often taught by different professors who specialize in anti-colonial, anti-imperial, and decolonial theory, the specific emphases of the course material will be subject to the given instructor's expertise.
