Africana Studies students will learn:

1. An anti-essentialist or diverse perspective: Students learn about many identities and worldviews, rather than one “Black culture.”
2. A rigorous methodological perspective: Students learn to interpret specific historical and cultural evidence.
3. An interdisciplinary perspective: Students learn from different scholarly viewpoints.
4. An intercultural perspective: Students learn about how different cultures mix in Africa and the African diaspora.
