Course Description
This
course will introduce , SBЗYT/Sebayt [Kush/Kemet: Students,
Apprentices, Novitiates] to the field of , SXRW/Skheru [Kush/Kemet: Public Policy] from a Multidisciplinary Inquiry based Global Afrikan perspective. Concepts, ideas and theories will be drawn
from Afrikana Studies, Cultural Anthropology, Political Anthropology, History,
Psychology, Sociology, Philosophy, Geography, Linguistics, Political Science,
and Economics.
The
use of this instructional , TP HSB/Tep-Heseb [Kush/Kemet:
Correct Method of Knowing, Methodology] will serve to broaden the

historical experience. The
multidisciplinary inquiry will be conducted through the analysis of the major
socio-historical, socio-cultural, socio-economic, and socio-political issues,
philosophies, paradigms and political science perspectives of the local, and
national political economic arena, the sub-Saharan Afrika political economic
arena, the continental Afrikan political economic arena, the Global Afrikan

critical analysis of the discipline of , SXRW/Skheru [Kush/Kemet: Public Policy] Studies, including the approaches and
processes of , SXRW/Skheru [Kush/Kemet: Public Policy] making, , SXRW/Skheru [Kush/Kemet: Public Policy] analysis, , SXRW/Skheru [Kush/Kemet: Public Policy] design, , SXRW/Skheru [Kush/Kemet: Public Policy] implementation and evaluation, and the

macroeconomic , SXRW/Skheru [Kush/Kemet: Public Policy] implications of environmentalism and
programmatic Pan-Afrikanism, Global Afrikan Identity, the Macroeconomics of
Afrikan Citizenship and Afrikan Nationality; the organization and ,
SXRW/Skheru [Kush/Kemet: Public Policy] of major political systems;
institutions of governance; executives, legislatures, and courts; the
international dimensions of local and national political and economic ,
SXRW/Skheru [Kush/Kemet: Public Policy].
The
method of analysis utilized will, from a Global Afrikan perspective, first
locate the , SBЗYT/Sebayt [Kush/Kemet: Student,
Apprentice, Novitiate] as a centered active participant, a major
factor of Global Afrikan political and economic “…agency and accountability…”
and second, “…locate the imaginative structure...” of the political arenas and
key concepts in their “…attitude, direction, and language…” by analyzing
“…text, institution, personality, interaction, or event.” These themes provide frameworks to interpret
and analyze current events, locate them as either central or peripheral to the Global
Afrikan experience and evaluate their impact on the nature of domestic and
international macroeconomic , SXRW/Skheru [Kush/Kemet: Public Policy] and its effect on ones country, continental
Afrika and the Global Afrikan Diaspora. To do so the ,
SBЗYT/Sebayt [Kush/Kemet: Student,
Apprentice, Novitiate] must assume a principal role as a
representative and servant of Global Afrikan people and their advancement.
Parallel goals of
this course include developing effective critical reading, critical (active)
listening and critical speaking skills, enhancing critical and creative
thinking, critical research, critical analysis, and critical writing skills. Regarding research methods, the ,
SBЗYT/Sebayt [Kush/Kemet: Student,
Apprentice, Novitiate] will learn and apply the following skills:
how to select a topic, conduct literature review, formulate hypotheses,
operationalize concepts, select a research design, collect appropriate data,
test hypotheses, analyze the results, and actually write (and re-write) a
research paper.
This
course will seek to foster a global understanding and appreciation of Global
Afrikan sub-cultural diversity, north/south economic difference, and inequality
and its solutions, through critical and creative thinking. Together, these objectives help form the
basis for future coursework in and out of the discipline and should help ,
SBЗYT/Sebayt [Kush/Kemet: Students,
Apprentices, Novitiates] make informed judgments about the
macro-political and macro-economic , SXRW/Skheru [Kush/Kemet: Public Policy] world around them as they position
themselves as centered Global Afrikan leaders in the Global Afrikan community
operating as active Global Afrikan agents of positive social change.
In
short, this course is about developing the requisite background to engage in
comprehensive problem solving. Research
projects will attempt to answer questions that are pertinent to both Global Afrikan
society. Completing a research project
that provides even a tentative, limited answer to the critical survival issues
of the Afrikan global community is of utility, as it will lay the foundation
for future analysis, research and solutions.
The
acquisition of research skills will move , SBЗYT/Sebayt [Kush/Kemet: Students,
Apprentices, Novitiates] beyond the Eurocentric perspective of ,
SB3/Seba [Kush/Kemet: Education], which holds that the learning endeavor is a
passive activity where information is provided to the ,
SBЗYT/Sebayt [Kush/Kemet: Student,
Apprentice, Novitiate], i.e., rote memorization. Instead, , SBЗYT/Sebayt [Kush/Kemet: Students,
Apprentices, Novitiates] will be moved into the proactive sphere, operating
from a ,
RXT SЗI NT SB3/Rekhet Sai ent Seba [Kush/Kemet: Philosophy
of Education] where , SB3/Seba [Kush/Kemet: Education] is a process through which ,
SBЗYT/Sebayt [Kush/Kemet: Students,
Apprentices, Novitiates] discover answers and develop innovative
solutions to questions and problems of interest to their families, themselves,
their nation, the Global Afrikan community. The intentionality then is the
development of Global Afrikan , SXRY/Skhery [Kush/Kemet: Policy-Makers].
