This course is an introduction to the literature in Black Geographies -- a somewhat new (and growing) sub-field of Geography.
By the successful completion of this course, students will have an introductory understanding of what is meant by Black Geographies, specifically how thinking through blackness as an analytic, can help us critically grasp geography, i.e., exploring why and how it matters that things happen where they happen.
This will be demonstrated by:
- An ability to integrate this multidimensional knowledge by referring directly, and with familiarity, to key works from the Black Geographies literature (and beyond);
- Increased competence for critical & ethical discourse demonstrated by an ability to discuss multiple viewpoints; our stance is not a “both-sides” imaginary, and is instead a desire to apply course concepts across multiple point-of-view for capacious sense-making;
- An ability to apply Black geographic thought to common, everyday situations demonstrated through in-class discussions and course-work.
