​This interdisciplinary course examines the diverse history and cultures of communities of African descent in Canada. The course considers experiences of Blackness in a Canadian context, alongside intersections with gender, class, and sexuality, among other constitutive factors. Dominant and normative formations of “race” and experiences of racism are analyzed, as are the attendant and myriad forms of resistance and autonomy.

Note: CNST 2202  and WGST 2202 are identical courses. Only one of these courses will count towards GPA calculation and graduation.
