Purpose: The purpose of this module is to provide students with tools to understand the evolution of the discipline of anthropology from an African standpoint. This will help students gain a sophisticated appreciation of the burgeoning decolonial turn both within the discipline and the university. Qualifying students will be able to, following guidelines, piece together and thus reflect on the theoretical perspectives that inform the human sciences in the first instance, and anthropology, in particular. The Africanist and decolonial postures of the module will equip students with critical thinking skills that will allow them to understand the political implications of theory-making. |
