Morrissey College of Arts & Sciences
The age of empires is past--or is it? In this course, we examine the enduring ideas of empires and their challengers through the present day, using a historical lens. Beginning with the traditional geographies of maps, we explore how empires colonized not only territories with physical borders, but also bodies and minds, using race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, education, laws, and institutions centered in Africa.
