This course is focused on resistance and strategies of liberation against colonialism, now and in history. It explores how to effectively decolonialize through three parallel approaches: (1) a 500-year overview of the world history of colonialism, imperialism and waves of anti-colonial liberation struggles, (2) an analysis of contemporary colonialism (overseas as well as "internal"), resistance and "decolonization," and (3) comparative case-studies of strategies of decolonizing liberation struggles.

In this course we'll cover some basic techniques of analyzing panel, or longitudinal, data. These data consist of observations on the same units (people, countries, etc.) at a minimum of two time points. Analysis techniques include first-difference, fixed effects, and random effects models. We'll start with models for continuous dependent variables, but may introduce binary ones if there's time. We'll assume basic familiarity with multivariate regression at the level of Sociology 712. We'll use Stata, but students are welcome to use other software if they can translate the code from Stata.

Selected topics in medical sociology. Emphasis on current issues, theory, and research. Students expected to initiate relevant research projects.
