Black Studies
The central mission of the Black Studies discipline is to prepare students to critically understand and interpret complex global histories, cultures, and societies of Africana people, which includes continental and diasporic Africans. We situate this knowledge within an interdisciplinary general discourse that teaches us about the totality of human experiences involving universal struggles for valued collective and individual identities. Students will employ research, methodology and theories drawn out of the collective Black experience to address relevant issues on behalf of global African communities and the whole of humanity.
