This course examines the literature, and culture of Uganda, a nation whose rich history and culturalproduction offer a lens through which to explore contemporary global issues. We examine Uganda's interactions with the world with an emphasis on her contribution to world 'projects' (for distance, refugeecrises and the war against terror) and debates (for instance, local approaches to combating epidemics, postcoloniality/decoloniality, and sexualities).We shall also examine global imaginaries of Uganda, her responses to these imaginaries, and the evolution and experiences of the Ugandan diaspora. Finally, we will think together about the challenges of discussing Uganda in the global context. The course will deploy a range of approaches and assignments, such as lectures, guest lectures by famous Ugandans and Ugandanists, exhibitions, and projects.
