Graduate Minor in Black Studies

  5. Graduate Minor in Black Studies

The Black Studies graduate minor objective is to augment humanity’s collective self-understanding, using the Africana experience as a paradigmatic example of their struggle and achievement.

We hope to successfully mentor graduate minors towards the process of fostering systems and methods of scientific inquiry which are more critical, corrective, holistic, ethical, and inclusive.

These new paradigms of inquiry are focused on re-examining questions involving the study of “truth”, social variables like race, class, and gender, and Eurocentrism.
