WGS 4900 - Black Geographies in the Americas

Effective Start Date: 03/03/2022
This course will interrogate Black geographies in the Americas and the ways in which traditional geographies adhere to a racial-sexual logic. Through an interdisciplinary approach, we will examine Black thinkers’ and scholars’ concepts of geography and how their interventions allow us to think differently about place, space, and Blackness. Topics include maroon communities, abolition geography, plantation geographies, and demonic grounds.

Requisites: Students can’t enroll if previously taken WGS 4559 topic #41 Black Geographies
