पाठ्यक्रमबारे सारश

This program allows students to become informed and knowledgeable in dialogues concerning the historical, sociological, literary and cultural dimensions of black life and culture in the U.S. and in specific African contexts. Students develop an understanding of the history of enslavement of Africans in the Western Hemisphere as this history relates to current issues of race and racism in America and elsewhere. During the course of their studies, students conduct research and share their knowledge with groups that are nationally, ethnically and politically diverse. Students are also encouraged to participate in internships, service-learning experiences and study abroad opportunities. These educational activities prepare them for life in a complex, diverse world where good citizenship is to be highly valued.
