Africana Studies Department: University of Cincinnati

This page is for ALL supporters, well wishers, majors and non-majors, minors, certificate students, community leaders and community folk, family and friends of students and faculty of the Africana Studies Department at the University of Cincinnati. This page is for all those who support the scholar / activist mission of the department of Africana Studies. We are working academically and t

hrough activism to solve the problems of today and tomorrow, particularly as they related to people of African descent! Majors in Africana Studies use a variety of approaches to explore and better understand the experiences of African, African American, Afro-Latin, Afro-Caribbean and Afro-European populations in a global context. This interdisciplinary major employs analytical tools from fields such as sociology, psychology, literature, anthropology, politics and history to explore important social issues facing people of African descent, from continental Africa and throughout the African Diasporas.
