Major themes to be investigated are "Borders and Captivity," "Identity Chosen versus Identity Imposed," Ethnic Cleansing versus Slavery," and "Freedom and Sovereignty." The final project will be a series of ten-minute plays written by students that use the issues raised in the course.

Discovery course.
Credit:
3 hours
Section Info:
This course will examine the attempts by colonial powers (governments, Christian institutions, etc.) to "educate" and assimilate indigenous people of North America, New Zealand, and Australia (1800-1960). In addition to critically evaluating government assimilation and acculturation policies, this course will seek to understand how indigenous people responded to an education based primarily on colonial ideals and values. Furthermore, by utilizing primary and secondary sources, including short stories and films, this course will consider the varied impact colonization has had on indigenous communities of North America and the Pacific. First Year Discovery Program Course. Registration restricted to freshmen. Students should enroll in only one Discovery course.
