African American Studies is unique as an academic discipline in that it defines and redefines the lives of Africana peoples from their own perspectives. By relying on social justice and the anti-racist tradition, the course critically examines the histories, current issues, and unique lived experiences of people of African ancestry in the United States and the diaspora along with the intersection of racial and ethnic identities with other forms of social identity such as class, gender, sexuality, religion, indigeneity, and immigration status. The values, experience, and cultural contributions of Black/African American individuals in the United States will be identified, examined, and authenticated.Usually HeldMon Wed 12:30pm–1:45pm, Tue Thu 2:00pm–3:15pm, Tue Thu 2:00pm–3:50pm, Tue Thu 2:45pm–4:10pm
