Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2558 This advanced seminar focuses on approaches from Africa and the diaspora that consider the category, experience, and radical potential of being (post)human.

We engage with ethnographies and histories of/from Africa by anti-colonial writers, postcolonial leaders, Black feminists, storytellers, scholars, and working people in Africa and beyond.; Pre-requisite(s): One course in Anthropology, or permission by instructor; Lottery Preference: None; Enrollment Limit: 15 Social Science, B: Analysis of the Social World (; Hav: SO, B) |
