About this course

The goal of this course is to introduce students to a vital part of culture, social structure, and education in Africa through the lens of language. We will look at central concepts as multilingualism, language policy/language of literacy, urban youth languages, and African languages in the diaspora. The course is designed for students with little or no background in linguistics. No previous knowledge of any African languages is required.
