The course aims to give students a basic insight into African social life, focusing on Africa south of the Sahara. Lecturers from three different disciplines - geography, history and social anthropology - will illustrate Africans' interaction with the outside world, past and present. Simultaneously, we aim to emphasise some of the complexity and great diversity, which marks contemporary Africa.

Internet lessons will be given in during both the autumn of 2006 and spring of 2007. As an e-learning student you will be given access to 21 Internet lessons in a Learning Management System called It's:Learning. You are also expected to attend 2 gatherings at the university campus in Trondheim and to join discussion groups on the Internet. There is one compulsory written assignments during the semester.
