When it runs

Ran in 5 of the last 7 terms. Winter 2027: scheduled, 2 lecture sections. Spring 2027: schedule not out yet.

This course introduces students to transculturality, an approach that challenges the notion of cultures as separate and static entities, emphasizing instead the interconnectedness and fluidity of cultural identities. Films and readings are used to examine concepts and debates informed by transcultural thinking (e.g., multiculturalism, cultural appropriation, cultural memory, subaltern knowledge, postmonolingualism, and decolonization).
