Africa in the World

Africa in the World
In this survey course students will learn to situate Africa in the context of globalization. To do this, we will probe three main questions: (1) How has globalization shaped African political systems? (2) How has it shaped African societies and cultures? and (3) What development challenges and opportunities has globalization generated for the continent? To answer these questions, we will delve into experiences from Algeria, Angola, Botswana, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa, and Uganda. Reflection papers, class participation, in-class quizzes, and exams will help gauge students’ learning.
