SEA 297-MOR Morocco: The Legacy of Colonialism (Mark Freyberg & Ali Madanipour); ECC: Global Perspective

This course explores effects of colonialism on contemporary Morocco through on-campus lectures and two weeks of observation in urban and rural Morocco. Lectures provide a brief history of Morocco and an overview of Western influence on contemporary Moroccan society. Students will learn how inequality is created and sustained by colonial and post-colonial social forces (economic, legal and cultural), and how inequality emerges within and between nations in a globalizing world. Students will complete short quizzes, a pre-travel essay, an interfolio photo project and a reflective journal. Destinations include Casablanca on the coast, Marrakesh in the High Atlas Mountains, and at least one rural village where we will complete a service project.
