Africana Studies

About

Overview Learning ObjectivesThe Africana Studies program from Williams College builds knowledge about communities throughout the African Diaspora by way of interdisciplinary analyses of black embodiment in contemporary spaces—which may take the form of cultural expressions in theater, literature, music, and religion; political strivings and imaginations; displacement and annihilation under environmental distress; and representations in, and creations of, new technologies. Several learning objectives unify our teaching in Africana Studies:to introduce students to the content and contours of Africana Studies as a long-standing and vibrant field of knowledge;to disrupt the peripheral placement of peoples of African descent in traditional disciplines by using interdisciplinary methods to center their histories, experiences, and perspectives;to illuminate the vast range, power, and influence of Black cultural productions;to parse out the deep roots of grassroots activism that dismantles innumerable manifestations of anti-black racism both within and beyond communities of African descent;to understand rich intersections of race, gender, class, and sexuality, both historically and in contemporary societies.
