非洲研究文学士（巴纳德）

位于巴纳德的非洲研究系成立于1992年，是非洲和黑人流浪者跨学科研究的基地。通过我们的课程和课外编程，《非洲研究》使巴纳德社区接触了全球黑人的经验，并提供了对这些经验进行严格和文化敏感的分析所必需的分析工具。在非洲研究领域任教的教师对非洲和非洲后裔的历史以及奴隶制，殖民主义以及种族和种族在现代世界中的影响具有研究和教学兴趣。尽管我们的课程侧重于非洲散居非洲，美国和加勒比海的三个主要地点，但我们的比较方法涵盖了非洲对包括欧洲和美洲在内的全世界非洲裔人的影响和经验。我们鼓励出国留学：今年所有的老年人都在非洲大
The Africana Studies major offers an interdisciplinary, comparative approach to the study of the history, politics, cultures, literatures, and experiences of peoples in Africa and the African Diaspora. Through this course of study, students come to see the centrality of Africa and the black Diaspora in the modern world and develop a critical understanding of the political, social and ideological forces that shape their place in the world. Our introductory courses encourage students to understand the world from multidisciplinary and transnational perspectives, to critically engage with primary and secondary materials, to develop key geographical knowledge and to engage in comparative analysis. In consultation with their Africana advisor, majors determine a course of study that draws from a range of disciplinary and/or theoretical perspectives. This coursework includes a required colloquium which grounds students in key theories and methodologies of the black Diaspora, a Harlem course that asks students to think about our historic location in relation to the larger Diaspora and a senior seminar that requires students to conduct groundbreaking research.
