This course is for 360 students only. 3 spaces reserved for non-360 students will be given permission from instructor. This course is part of 360 African Traditions: Healing in a Globalized World. In 2017, Achille Mbembe and Felwine Sarr founded the “ateliers de la pensée de Dakar,” bringing together local and diasporic thinkers to take a pluralistic look at the realities of the African continent and the possible futures. Inspired by these conversations, this cluster addresses the following questions: How do local healing and cultural traditions continue or change in our postcolonial world? What forms have they taken? How does the triple legacy of Islamization, Westernization, and Globalization play out in the health decisions and practices of West Africa today? Students will explore the ways in which African societies are trying to overcome colonial legacies, promote well-being, and contribute to fashioning our interconnected world. If you are interested in the 360 program, you must fill out the application which is due on November 2nd at NOON by clicking on https://www.brynmawr.edu/inside-96. This 360 cluster includes enrolling in FREN B211.
