授業の概要と目的（何を学ぶか）Outline and objectives
This course is a general introduction to students who are interested in the studies of Africa's society, culture, and politics. The course will provide an overview of Africa's historical, political, cultural, and societal development. The main themes to explored in this course will include Africa's colonial history, the postcolonial transformations, and Africa in the age of globalisation.
到達目標Goal
This course aims at exposing the students to how Africa has been subjected to profound stereotypes and misconceptions that largely inform the global perspectives of the continent. The course will seek to humanize our understanding of Africa by emphasizing forms and means of daily life experiences and understandings such as family life, love and joy, the life cycle, faith and belief, livelihood aspirations, hopes for the future, development aims and achievements, and sense of global belonging. The overall aim is that students will gain experience of researching, discussing, and presenting global issues using a good command of English language with both clarity and confidence.
