Overview
These courses and co-curricular connections promote the study of North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, and African Diasporas, by helping current students to integrate course planning in African Studies and to connect their curricular design to off-campus study and post-graduate service, and by giving faculty opportunities for dialogue and collaboration. “African Studies” is by definition a diffuse designation, so this Interdisciplinary Study Theme is intended to provide a broad interdisciplinary framework in which students and faculty can develop mutual interests around issues such as race and ethnicity, gender, evolution, statehood, democracy, development, ecology, resource management, globalization, labor, poverty, human rights, conflict resolution, performance, narrative, identity, postcolonialism, and visual culture.
