【Course Contents】

Using English, students will be able to study academic subjects in a structured way at undergraduate level. Students can learn the basic knowledge of the subject and special language used in the subject in English.
This course is an introduction to the social and cultural topics of Africa. By exploring how history, culture, and power shape our conceptualization of the world and its peoples, the course tracks how legacies of colonialism and imperialism in Africa continue to inform contemporary issues of economic development, governance, and globalization. After a general overview of geography, ethnicity, language, and colonial history in the first part of the course, we will focus on a number of important contemporary issues including population, urbanization, economic development, resource, and governance etc.
