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.

AFC 221 Black Liberation Struggles
This course will explore Africa and its diaspora from the perspective of revolutions, addressing and assessing physical armed struggle as well as spiritual and ideological struggles.
We will be reading a number of texts from different parts of the globe in order to seek out and identify commonalities of purpose and method as well as investigate how black struggles for freedom have been realized both historically and contemporarily.
Students will come away from the course with a sense of some of the challenges to freedom that African and African diasporic people have faced over the centuries and their responses—quite proactive and innovative in many ways—to those challenges.

AFC 244 Dimensions of Racism [GEGA or GEKS]
This course examines various theoretical approaches to the concepts of race, ethnicity, and diversity. This course offers the opportunity to acquire an understanding of the interrelated dynamics that diversity of people, culture, religious beliefs, and ideologies 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.

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 .
