"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." 鈥� African proverb.
African history is an exciting subject to study. Human history is the longest in Africa and our understanding of this long history is changing because of new discoveries and also because of the changing perspectives of scholars themselves in recent years. In this course, we will work on gaining an understanding of the events and developments of human experiences in Africa over the millennia and we will also examine how perspectives of scholars and people involved in African history have changed. Frequently in the past, people have emphasized how African history relates to the history of other regions, but currently, more emphasis is being given to understanding African history on its own terms. In addition, we will try to see the significance of the African historical experience in a more global or world historical perspective.We will look at major themes, and the myths surrounding them, in our study of African history. These will include: writing the history of Africa, encounters, the Atlantic slave trade, imperialism and colonialism, the history of movements of distinctive African identity (including the rise of nationalism), and the experience of independence. We will also give consideration to Africa's role in globalization to the present day (and looking to the future).

This topic generates more talk and less light than almost any other subject. Course considers what is sexuality? Why is it so mysterious? How important is it to self-identity, self-knowledge and relationships? How can we think clearly and fairly about current controversies such as surrogate parenting, AIDS, contraception, gender identity and roles, relation between sex and family, marriage, religion and society? Philosophers, novelists, scientists, theologians, psychologists and even mystics shed light on this issue.
Are we living in the Age of Misinformation? Scholars across the social sciences and humanities are united by a fear of how fast false information can spread. Misinformation appears everywhere our workplaces, our social media feeds, our family dinners. But what is misinformation and where does it come from? Why are some people drawn to it while others remain unaffected? How does anyone distinguish good information from bad, experts from dupes? This course is an interdisciplinary examination of misinformation, its character, its origins, and its impact on social and political life. By surveying the leading theoretical explanations of misinformation from sociology, communication & media studies, psychology, and political science, students will be exposed to cutting edge research on the nature of misinformation and will cultivate tools to hinder its spread in their personal and professional lives.
