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.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
