Faculty members found on this page are responsible for teaching the foundation course of the program, 201: Introduction to African and Diaspora Studies.
Designed to introduce students to the discipline of African and Diaspora Studies, this class focuses on major questions such as the influence of cultural integrity and the political struggle for equality in two hemispheres on cultural traditions, values and social institutions. Of particular interest is the transformation of identity over the last 500 years as Africans, African Americans and African Caribbeans have been exposed to European domination and exploitation.
