HIST 43002 - Women In Africa History: Writing Intensive

Credit Hours: 3.00. This writing-intensive seminar examines the social, political, economic, religious, and cultural experiences of women living in Africa. Although we will look at women in the pre-colonial and slave trade eras, the focus will be on women during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Much of our reading and discussion will consider not only women, but also gender as we think about women’s interactions with men and children. Topics include sexuality, power, politics, violence, and resistance, among others. Students can expect to engage with a number of different types of texts (e.g. films, novels, scholarly analyses, and primary sources). Typically offered Fall Spring.
