GEOG 31 Postcolonial Geographies - Empire, Diaspora, Decolonization
In this class we use tools of critical geography to think relationally about colonization, post-colonialism, and decolonization. We begin with the material and imaginative geographies produced through colonization—identifying the mappings, categories, and binaries integral to empire. We then consider how diaspora, migration, and displacement have reconfigured these relationships. Finally, we turn to the ongoing work of decolonization—an imperative both in the world and in our own thinking about the world.
