Official course description:
The course aims at discovering the current debates evolving around crucial topics of local and global interest (e.g. climate change, peace and security, citizens/students movements, elections, ICC, corruption, religious debates, education, Asia (re)engagement with Africa, borderlands, mobility [south-south, south-north migrations], integration in EAC, popular culture, etc.). Through a variety of in-class activities the students will develop the necessary background knowledge to engage in the Swahili language course belonging to this module. The course remains explicitly interdisciplinary in focus. Here the students will be able to read, discuss, develop and work on different cases-studies chosen both in relation to their relevance in loco for the citizens but also for the students’ contemporaries in East Africa. LEARNING OUTCOMES: by the end of the course students should have a knowledge and understanding of multiple perspectives of contemporary issues, relevant to Swahili communities in and across East Africa, understanding the background and context of selected contemporary issues in Africa, debating and implementing original arguing.
