Course Overview

Whether the discussion centers on racial inequality in the UK, political developments in South Africa or the #blacklivesmatter movement in the USA, debates relating to race, racism, and decoloniality are ever-present in modern society. It has therefore become increasingly important to raise awareness of these matters within many professional occupations. This course will deepen your understanding of the contemporary discourse on race, racism, and decoloniality globally. Drawing on theory and practice from the Global South and Global North, you will analyze what race, racism, and decoloniality mean within these contexts and why these issues matter. You will study race, identity, and culture within the Black Atlantic diaspora and the impact of black philosophies and movements. You will also explore contemporary theoretical debates around critical whiteness studies and critical ethnic studies.
