African American Public Humanities Initiative
The African American Public Humanities Initiative (AAPHI) in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Delaware connects students, faculty and community partners to explore Black history and culture through research, teaching and public engagement. The initiative supports community-centered projects—oral histories, digital archives and exhibitions—that amplify African American voices in Delaware and beyond, while creating hands-on learning opportunities and pathways to careers in the public humanities at UD.
