Description
The Minor in Africana Studies explores the histories, cultures, and politics of Africa and people of African descent in the Caribbean, Latin America, the United States, and elsewhere. We do this through language, art, and culture; historical, social and political inquiry; and opportunities for immersion and civic engagement. Students of all backgrounds are welcomed to study and appreciate the lives and experiences of people of African descent and heighten their understanding of the global significance of the Black world. The program strives to prepare students to live and work in, and make sense of, an increasingly interdependent and multicultural world. Students are encouraged to study abroad in Africa or an African-descended community in the Caribbean, Latin America, or Europe.
