Cross-listed: Africana Studies, Middle Eastern Studies Students are trained through the use of the most current pedagogical developments of communicative, visual and narrative methods developed by primarily AL-Kitaab fii Ta` allum al- `Arabiyya. Students will enlarge their speaking, reading, writing and comprehension skills in Modern Standard Arabic, the form of Arabic shared by all Arab countries. Classroom time is devoted to conversation (skits and discussions) and grammar exercises (including skim-reading tasks, spiraling and inference, analogy, problem solving, and educated guessing), stemming from the DVDs and other untainted materials. For example, in the course of the semester you will learn Arabic through a variety of musical traditions both classical and modern. The course will continue to introduce students to some Egyptian colloquial. Consistent emphasis is placed on authentic resources that derive from the most updated cultural contexts, realities and creative work of the Arab world such as gender issues, Arab-Muslim and Arab-Christian traditions, social clubs, ethnic groups, the role of the media etc. Students are expected to devote adequate time for homework, meet with a tutor every week to help them with homework and attend a session of Spoken Arabic. Class size: 22

Africana Studies is an intellectual tradition and historical experience caught between the disciplinary paradigms and cultural geographies of Africa and the Diaspora. This introductory course uses formative texts by W.E.B. DuBois, Aimé Césaire, Alice Walker, and Saidiya Hartman to name a few, in order to consider the genealogy, debates, and ambitions of Africana Studies as an intellectual and political tradition within American, European, and African schools of knowledge production. To illuminate and complicate these theoretical readings, the course will also use film, music, painting, and literature to chart networks of migration and to consider how communities living in and identifying with Africa and the Diaspora construct and respond to shared histories of slavery, colonization, struggles for independence, racism, and globalization. Guest lecturers from within and outside of the campus community will present on their research and will offer participants a range of disciplinary perspectives on the state of the field and possible future directions.

This course is a requirement for students seeking to concentrate in Africana Studies. Class size: 22
