ALST 381 - Theories and Intellectual Traditions

Examines a specific Black, Latinx and/or Indigenous intellectual tradition. Through active engagement with theorists and thinkers central to a tradition, students trace their genealogies over time and, at times, across multiple geopolitical spaces. An interdisciplinary lens is used to examine the multiple perspectives which lay the groundwork for as well as expand this tradition. Students encounter archives and counter archives, methodologies, and different kinds of academic material and forms of cultural production. Students are also introduced to classic and paradigm-shifting works in a tradition. This course functions as a bridge towards the senior capstone interdisciplinary research project in the ALST major.
