| Inhalt | This course focuses on understanding and critically examining critiques of Eurocentrism from decolonialism, postcolonialism, and ‘epistemologies of the South’. The course explores two broad questions. The first question is: what is Eurocentrism and what are its problems? The second question is: what are the implications of the critiques of Eurocentrism for how we think about global knowledge production? |
| Lernziele | - Introduce students to some of the key critiques of Eurocentrism, and the implications of such critiques on global knowledge production. - Develop students’ abilities to identify, analyze and evaluate arguments from texts. - Encourage students to engage carefully and critically with different arguments from different disciplines and fields of study. - Foster students' critical engagement with some contentious arguments underpinning public debates about decolonization, global racism and social justice. |
