Institute for Liberal Arts & Interdisciplinary Studies
Post-Colonial & Global Studies Minor
The minor offers a deeper understanding of the non-Western tradition and provides both a conceptual and a historical understanding of the consequences of imperial expansions. It is strongly recommended that you choose classes that cover texts from diverse geographical locations and that approach post-coloniality from a variety of disciplinary perspectives.
