| Content | This interdisciplinary course serves as an introduction to African Studies in Basel and addresses both MA African Studies students and all students interested in the field. The course is structured as a migrating lecture series, introducing students to the various focus areas as well as associated partner institutions that constitute the broader African Studies network in Basel. Each focus area will be introduced by experts and take place in a different location relevant to that focus area, thereby offering insights not only into the theory but also the applied practice and current research projects. The general introduction provides the theoretical and historical foundations of this inter/transdisciplinary field with questions of coloniality, racism, and positionality as ongoing concerns. The course offers the opportunity to engage directly topics, persons, and places that reflect the multifaceted ways African Studies can be studied at this university. The introduction is clustered into thematic and regional blocks, each followed by a session dedicated to further discussion, reflection and consolidation. Special event: ..Namibia Research Day |
