The instructors facilitating Africana Studies courses are mostly comprised of members of the Graduate Faculty with strong
record of effective teaching and research. Although the Africana Studies major is primarily an undergraduate offering, Africana
faculty, in cooperation with American Culture Studies, History, and other disciplines, serve as mentors to masters and doctoral
students by chairing examination and dissertation committees. Faculty may also create individualized and independent studies
based on some aspect of the student's field of study as it relates to Africa and the Diaspora. Listed below are the faculty
associated with Africana Studies. Students should feel free to contact these members for more information.
