Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes

Students will learn to analyse selected texts within both 'global' and 'local' cultural and theoretical frameworks, investigating ways in which colonial writing and criticism intersect with international postcolonial writing and theory. They will be able to evaluate how these texts are inflected by the unique cultural politics of the Pacific region.
