Class Detail

Focuses on a particular topic in black studies. Topics vary with each offering but might include approaching racial and ethnic formations through a range of disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives, with a focus on the intellectual histories, political movements, cultural expressions, lived experiences, and critical theories of peoples throughout the Black diaspora and Africa.

This course examines the history of the idea of ?miseducation? through a transnational lens, focusing on histories of the (mis)education of people of African descent, drawing on historical cases and theorizations from both the Continent and the diaspora. Narratives from outside of the Black and African experience also serve as a cornerstone of the course, highlighting the structural and political solidarities constructed by groups organizing around educational struggles and in opposition to (neo)colonial structures. Understanding miseducation will enable students to better grasp relationships between structures of education and the (non)educated, the role of education in resistances to oppression, and the ways in which academic disciplines themselves have been constructed. This class looks at an array of different social movements, institutional formations, and texts and will consider radical alternatives which imagine and work toward the realization of a more just social, economic, and cultural order.
