Africana Studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines the historical, cultural, literary, aesthetic, political, social, and economic experiences and knowledges of peoples of African origin in both Africa and the African diaspora. In this course, we will consider several disciplines, such as art history, psychology, and philosophy, and their intersection with Africana Studies. We will discuss how these disciplines approach Africana Studies and how Africana Studies scholars can employ disciplinary lenses. In the process of producing a research paper this semester, you will explore and select the methods for which you will conduct your research.
