WEC Units: African American & African Studies


A small and interdisciplinary department, African American and African Studies enrolls a small core of about 40 undergraduate majors, but non-majors from all over the campus take their courses at both the lower and upper division. Many of the faculty who teach courses share their departmental home with another program, creating rich opportunities for interdisciplinary teaching and learning of the social, political, economic, and cultural complexities of Africa, African America, and the broader African Diaspora.
