This course addresses the long and diverse historical experiences of black people in Canada. Each year the course is offered, it will emphasize a specific theme which may include slavery and its afterlife, black liberation and resistance, black geographies, (im)migration, education, black diasporic communities, and black womanhood and gendered politics. Discussions in this course will consider the place of Canada within broader transnational debates about race and blackness. Details regarding specific topics will be available on the department’s website on an annual basis.
