African and African Diaspora Studies is a cross-disciplinary minor designed to enable students explore, examine and critically analyze the African presence in a global context. This presence stretches back to antiquity in Europe and Asia, and for centuries in the Americas. Students are provided with the background and tools to investigate the agency, experiences, and movement of African and African Diaspora people that span time and place and bridge academic disciplines. The minor offers courses in several departments from faculty representing a number of academic disciplines.
