Course Schedule – Spring 2024 / Old Courses / AFRICAN CONTINENT
Coordinators: Ann Goerdt, Bob Gottfried, Bob Reiss
In the fall semester we will add to the information that we provided about Africa in the spring. As we present specific countries, including Zimbabwe, Namibia and Tunisia, we will continue to address their history, economy, health, education, and social aspects. We will also present overviews of Africa that may focus on specific groups of countries as we address topics such as the relations between African countries and their former colonizers and the influence of China on the continent.
