Cluster: African Studies

This cluster presents interdisciplinary approaches to the study of the African continent and its peoples, their complexity and diversity. It explores problems and themes that are cultural, historical, political, and geographical, and that address fundamental issues in the construction and expression of identity and knowledge.

Sophomore Inquiry: African Studies

(UNST 211)

This course will explore changing disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives on the study of the African continent and its peoples. The course examines how an understanding of the African experience, far from being exotic or distant, reaches to the core of academic struggle and intellectual debate.
