SOCI 451 - Imperial Control and its Transformations: the New Sociology of Empire and Colonialism Semester Offered: First Semester Full Course Credits: 4 credits Attribute: 4SS, CD, WADV
The renascence of the sociology of colonialism and empire has called attention to the need to re-think the foundational concepts and institutional configurations of the contemporary world. Rather than viewing the postwar status quo of independent nation-states as a given in social analysis, sociologists have turned to question how the institutional structures of empire and colonialism were formed and to identify the consequences of these forms of domination and control for (post)colonial states and societies. By navigating through this emergent body of scholarship, students will develop research projects of their own that question the construction of modern states and societies.
