Description: A multidisciplinary approach to Africa. Colonization and its impact provide historical context. A geographical framework encourages students to individualize their learning through case studies of two of the following five areas: East Africa, West Africa, North Africa, South Africa and Central Africa. A research project enables students to correlate their geographical case studies to a choice of topical issues: AIDS, the environment, family and kinship, women and development, religion or literature. Particular attention is devoted to contemporary ethnic conflict. The course concludes with an examination of trends and prospects for the future of Africa.

Learning activities include multidisciplinary readings (anthropological, economic, historical, political and sociological), instructor and student facilitated discussions, case studies, short essays and a research paper. Students also follow contemporary news reports from Africa. Students individualize their learning through selections that synthesize their studies of the human ecology and colonial legacy of Africa; post-colonial African societies; and Africa as part of a global system.

Recommended: World History 1, World History 2 or equivalent. Advanced level research and writing skills are expected of this upper level course.

This course fully meets the General Education requirement in Other World Civilizations.
