Russwurm Center
The Africana Studies Program is housed in the Russwurm African American Center.
New Faculty Members
Meet two new additions to the program; David Gordon and Guy Mark Foster have recently joined the faculty.
Africana studies is an interdisciplinary program designed to bring the scholarly approaches and perspectives of several traditional disciplines to bear on an understanding of black life. Emphasis is placed on the examination of the rich and varied cultures, literature, and history of black people in Africa and in the African Diaspora, including the United States, the Caribbean, and Latin America. Such a systematic interdisciplinary approach captures the historic, multifaceted quality of African-American scholarship and allows the student to integrate effectively the perspectives of several academic departments at the College.
