 Rationale for Perspectives on a Diverse World - AFC 101 meets the requirements for a course on U.S. Diversity because it surveys the origins, development, and current status of African Americans from the perspective of a discipline that places this group at the center of its inquiry. A historically underrepresented and oppressed group, African Americans constitute one of the largest minorities in the U.S. This group has been essential to the formation and character of U.S. society from its inception to the present. The struggle by African Americans for equality and human dignity and their contributions to U.S. and world cultures reveal much about the role and significance of diversity in American society. The course examines the interactions of African Americans with U.S. immigrant groups and with Native peoples. Cultural, economic, gender, religious, racial, and class factors in oppression are of particular concern.

Credit 3 hrs May not be repeated for additional credit Grade Mode Normal (A-F) Course Rotation Fall (online), Winter (online)
Prerequisites - Restriction by Major - Restriction by Class - Undergraduate standing
 Rationale for Perspectives on a Diverse World - This course meets the Perspectives on a Diverse World - Global Awareness requirement of the General Education Program by providing an overview of the Caribbean region within a global context focusing on its history, contemporary reality, and cultural production. Through lectures, readings, writings, and discussions, students will gain insight into the Caribbean regions’ complex history, appreciate its cultural production and begin to recognize the role that the Caribbean plays in larger global systems.
Students will come away from the course more aware of the important role that the Caribbean region has played in the world historically. Topics to be addressed are: the history of the indigenous populations as well as the forced importation of African peoples and their experience. Students will also explore contemporary issues of neoliberalism and ecological pressures in relation to inhabitants’ spiritual practices as well as their musical, literary, and visual production.
The course is not meant to cover every Caribbean island in one semester, which means that the course can be kept fresh and dynamic in its ability to include different countries each semester depending on what new publications come out about the region, what artists emerge, what socio-political and economic issues the professor wants to focus on, different forms of art are to be emphasized, etc.

 Rationale for Perspectives on a Diverse World - AFC 232 - Politics in the African American Experience is a study of black political behavior in the United States and its evolution from protest to institutional, electoral politics. In examining the functioning and dynamics of the American political system from historical and contemporary perspectives, the course also compares and contrasts the black political experience with other minority group politics in the United States. This course uses the African American political experience and the transformative contributions that African American historic political struggles and minority group politics have made to the expansion and public appreciation of democratic principles, values and practices in the United States as a means of not only providing students with a multicultural perspective on the evolution and functioning of the American political system, but also exposing them to the diversity that characterizes “issues and perspectives” in the American political experience.

Students may earn credit towards Global Awareness (GEGA) or Knowledge of the Disciplines-Social Sciences (GEKS) , not both. Rationale for Perspectives on a Diverse World - Using the Afrocentric paradigm, a privileged critical theoretical framework and methodology to address relations of power and privilege, domination and oppression, concepts of superior and inferior civilizations, cultures, and societies that are difficult to deconstruct within traditional western perspectives, Dimensions of Racism prepares students to examine various theoretical approaches to the concepts of race, ethnicity, and diversity. The goal is to help students understand their culture and cultural practices and the interrelated dynamics that the diversity of peoples, cultures, and religious beliefs on the one hand; and ideological and political foundations of social stratification based on systems of power, oppression, and prejudice, on the other, play in the creation of new nations; how they can determine political and/or economic alliances; how they can shape or reshape the global order; how they can influence systems of exclusion and produce practices of intolerance. As such, in discussing these issues both at a national, international, and global level, this course meets the outcomes for Global Awareness .
Rationale for Knowledge of the Disciplines - Students will develop knowledge of ethnographic methods and techniques in social scientific research and Africology & African American Studies. In addition, students learn how to develop research questions that reflect an understanding of the discipline in which they are asked; how to conduct a cross-cultural analysis of data; and understand how knowledge is developed and disseminated from the perspective of the ontology and epistemology of race and the impact of its regulatory powers within society at national and international level. Students learn how to use social science methods of describing, exploring, explaining, and comparing to engage in the systematic study and understanding of societies and cultures and relations of power that govern and shape them. This course explores a broad range of topics and methods in the Social Sciences approach under the discipline of Africology both at the national, international, and global levels. As such, this course meets the outcomes for Knowledge of the Disciplines-Social Sciences .

Prerequisites - Restriction by Major - Restriction by Class -
 Rationale for Perspectives on a Diverse World - AFC 313 - Contemporary Africa: the Struggle and Prospects for Development is designed as a survey of Africa’s contemporary political economy. In examining post-colonial efforts at development, the course focuses on a cross-section of regional and national strategies for social transformation. Among subjects emphasized are economic cooperation and coordination initiatives on the continent, side by side with domestic and/or external constraints on national socioeconomic developmental efforts. The course also compares and contrasts Africa’s major socioeconomic trends and performances with those of Latin America and the Caribbean and Asia and Pacific regions. This course meets the Global Awareness category of the General Education program because its survey of the contemporary political-economic conditions of Africa will help to provide EMU students with a global perspective on forms of development in the contemporary world. Such a global perspective on development is all the more necessary, given the leadership role that the United States and Western Europe play within the international community.

AFC 351 The Social Context of African American Health [GEKS] Examines the health status of African Americans. Explores the interplay between environment, biology, and culture; folk and popular health practices; and the organization and delivery of health care.
Credit 3 hrs May not be repeated for additional credit Grade Mode Normal (A-F) Course Rotation Winter (in-person or hybrid)
Prerequisites - Restriction by Major - Restriction by Class - Undergraduate standing
 Rationale for Knowledge of the Disciplines - AFC 351 applies an analysis of the social and cultural basis of health to the African American experience. To this end, the course provides a broad introduction to social science suppositions and techniques. AFC 351 moves well beyond the idea that medical care - its presence, absence or quality - is the singular or most critical factor determining the health of a people, community or society. It reveals the importance of social phenomena in disease resistance and health promotion.

 Rationale for Perspectives on a Diverse World - This course introduces students to the study of aging. Older adults over the age of 55 comprise the largest and most diverse group within the U.S. This patchwork quilt of Americans represents a broad array of values, interests, and experiences that have significantly defined the nation. Through the study of aging, students begin to understand how differences among people have shaped the society we live. Concepts such as ageism are examined and how public policy has negatively and positively influenced the lives of the elderly. Sub-groups within the older population are explored as students learn how people throughout history have been disadvantaged based on race, ethnicity, gender, cultural and sexual identity and age itself. Trends are discussed that show how individual differences within this broad group help to re-define what it means to be an older adult. Students are challenged through reading and writing assignments that provide the foundation to enter into a larger discussion on the diverse and complex topics that impact aging in America. As such, this course meets the outcomes for a course in the Perspectives on a Diverse World - US Diversity category of the General Education program.

 Rationale for Perspectives on a Diverse World - This Global Awareness course offers students the opportunity to examine diverse cultures and countries through a social and demographic reality shared across the world: population aging. While variances exist in lifespan, every society, and every country - whether industrialized Western or least industrialized African or Asian- is faced with the circumstance of adults living longer than ever before in their history. How each culture has historically dealt with and currently deals with its again population, as well as aging individuals, offers a lens for considering the diversities and commonalities of societies around the world. Through the study of again issues of global relations, social justice, and empowerment will be addressed, particularly the social, economic, political and policy consequences.
