Core Courses
The Core Program consists of four courses taught by Center for Studies faculty and can be shaped to emphasize their particular areas of expertise. In some cases, other courses may serve as alternatives for fulfilling these requirements.
- Proseminar in Africana Studies: Focuses on the historical and cultural relationship between Africans and their descendants abroad.
- Introduction to Africa and African Diaspora Thought: Examines the processes by which African peoples have established epistemological, cosmological, and religious systems both prior to and after the institution of Western slavery.
- Cultural and Literary Theory of Africa and the African Diaspora: Introduces students to the theoretical strategies underlying the construction of coherent communities and systems of representation and how those strategies influence the uses of expressive culture over time.
- Political Economy and Social History of Africa and the African Diaspora: Provides the opportunity for students to investigate the relationship between the emergence of African peoples as historical subjects and their location within specific geopolitical and economic circumstances.
