Morrissey College of Arts & Sciences
This course will employ decolonial critiques, African theology, and liberation theology to examine politico-economic inequality and conflict in the world today. The class will analyze international human rights, international law, and international development and how these structure relations between the colonized and their colonizers. We will engage Kwok Pui Lan, Musa Dube, Walter Benjamin, Johann Baptist Metz, Eboussi Boulaga, Jon Sobrino, Chinua Achebe, and WEB Du Bois among others to critically examine the work of theology in global politics - highlighting the connections between political theologies and material realities of inequality and conflict today while exploring the possibility of decoloniality.
