We locate these urban conflicts within Cape Town’s historical patterns of development as a European colonial port, an apartheid industrial city and a node in a worldwide network of global cities. We focus on whether and how these global projects reproduce rather than reduce local forms of racial inequalities or apartheid whilst advocating liberal policies of multicultural inclusion and individual rights. Class will meet in Room 19 in Temple Buell Hall (TBH) Registration is restricted until students have been accepted into the program by the Study Abroad Office. Program Dates Abroad: May 17 - May 30, 2020. Application Deadline: February 15, 2024.
