Title: Minor in African American and African Diaspora Studies
Location: US
Company: Education
The program in African American and African Diaspora Studies is designed to provide students with the critical tools required, and to expose them to the historical knowledge and current research necessary, for an informed understanding of Black experiences today. The program systematically documents critical aspects of Black experiences from its antecedents in antiquity to the prominent issues of the present day. Engaging both past and contemporary aspects of these experiences provides students access to materials and events that have historically not been given adequate treatment, and allows students to contextualize current issues relating to people of African descent in an academically critical way. The program is designed to give students of people of African descent before the beginnings of the enslavement of African peoples up to the present time, as well as effectively prepare students who desire to continue on to graduate work in Black Studies.
