SOAN 040M. Race, Nation, Empire and Education

(Cross-listed as EDUC 046)
This course examines the historical and contemporary role of education in relation to race, nation- and empire-building projects. Drawing on anthropology, history, and cultural studies, we explore processes of subject formation, especially as it articulates with ideas about race and un/belonging. We will focus in particular on how educational institutions shape notions of belonging, and how these are contested within a changing global landscape.
