Africana, Latin American, Caribbean, and Latinx Studies
Department of Africana, Latin American, Caribbean, and Latinx Studies
Africana Studies draws upon critical, multi-, and cross-disciplinary perspectives to address the complexities of black communities and black popular culture that concern Africa, the U.S. and the Black Diaspora. You’ll learn about African Americans' and Africans' ways of life - from languages to history to religion, art and literature. You’ll implement methods and theories from Africana Studies as well as sociology, psychology, history, law, and ethnic and race studies.
Latin American, Caribbean, and Latinx Studies offers interdisciplinary programs on the history, culture and political development of Latin America and Caribbean nations and the relationships between these nations and the United States. You'll explore the interdependence between resident Latinx and immigrant populations in the United States and their countries of origin. Issues of race, gender, ethnicity and class are central to the curriculum.
