This course enables students to critically discuss and deconstruct existing and taken-for-granted societal structures and the political concepts which underpin them. The course introduces students to current debates in postcolonial and decolonial theory and equips students to apply their theoretical and conceptual knowledge to real-world interdisciplinary challenges via the in-depth consideration of a series of case studies. These will include a focus on decolonising our handling of the past, but also adopt a challenge-led perspective on contemporary real world problems such as but not limited to structural gender and racial inequalities; poverty; climate change; political representation; food security and global health.
