Average Course Rating

(-1)

What complicity does the Western academy have with empire? How might the development of certain intellectual dispositions be implicated in the challenges of imperial rule? And how might such implications have produced influential concepts and theories? In this course we will consider the ways in which - and extent to which - the academy’s claim to epistemic privilege has a colonial provenance. Seniors permitted with instructor permission only.
