Koloniala historier och postkolonial teori: samtidigheter som historisk metodologi

Things happen simultaneously in the same or different places and are perceived differently depending on who is experiencing them. Yet, history writing has long been dominated by a Western or European approach to narrating and making sense of the past. This course we will discuss postcolonial and global-history theories that set out to challenge this Eurocentrism. It will in particular discuss the challenges facing history writing when it comes to illustrating peoples varying experiences and the stories that originate from European colonialism and expansion. Credits in history and some previous knowledge of historical methods and historiography are required.
