Colonialism (C059)
GEC Coordinator: Caroline Shaw
Colonial expansion has had a profound effect in shaping the world culturally, politically, demographically, and ecologically. Its implications are addressed in one way or another by a majority of humanities and social science courses offered at Bates, and it has important implications for the sciences as well. This concentration addresses colonialism itself, allowing an examination of the commonalities and differences that have characterized the phenomenon.
Complete four courses designated with the (C059) GEC attribute.
Two non-Bates credits may be applied toward the concentration if judged comparable to one of those below by the concentration coordinator and with prior approval.
