HUM 3163: Global Humanities (Okpala)

Global Humanities is an intensive study of the humanities on a global scale. It includes a substantive focus on humanities outside of the Western cultural context—that is, our focus is the Global South.  This course takes an interdisciplinary humanities approach to several themes, including sacrifice, gods, deities, art, music, dance, and gender.  Specifically, the course encourages students to explore global issues using historical, literary, linguistic, and philosophical perspectives.
