The Department of Africana Studies is launching a new series of online courses that invite learners of all backgrounds to engage the rich, complex and living histories of Black people across the globe — from ancient civilizations to contemporary movements for justice.

The series offers three pathways for learners seeking to expand their knowledge, return to learning after an absence or experience deeper engagement with Black history and culture.

Teaching, Learning and Black Education:
For learners who wish to facilitate learning with intention and care while fostering collaborative practices that support different approaches to teaching and educational leadership in response to Black experiences across educational settings.

Digital Culture, Media and Black Futures:
For learners who wish to navigate evolving digital environments while maintaining a focus on the historical perspectives, social systems, and human contexts that influence how Black communities engage with technology, broadly defined.

Individualized Study in Black History and Culture:
For learners who wish to gain expertise in Black history and culture while following an individualized course of study that benefits from small collaborative environments with award-winning faculty. Students in this path will work closely with a faculty advisor to choose connected elective courses that align with their goals.

Admission and registration information can be found on the Department of Africana Studies website.
