African & African American Studies is devoted to the academic study of the history, culture and politics of African, African American, Afro-Latin, Afro-Caribbean and Afro-European populations. This interdisciplinary program employs analytical tools from fields such as Sociology, Literature and History to explore important social issues facing people of African descent in continental Africa and throughout the African Diaspora.
The Department of African & African American Studies encourages research and
scholarship in many dimensions of African and African American experiences. The faculty and staff feel that the task of bringing about needed changes in this society rests with those who are intellectually prepared.
The Department also seeks connections with the community -black, white
and other- in Cincinnati. A commitment to social activism has been,
is and always should be a dimension of a program based in large part
on justice. |
