The Bachelor of Arts in Black and African Diaspora Studies - Major in Development
Since the 1960s, Black students have identified the need for a more diverse and inclusive academy: one which reflects Black experiences, and Black intellectual, socio-economic, political, cultural, and scientific contributions. The proposed program will provide Dalhousie students with an introduction to and immersion in this vibrant, rigorous, and growing field. The Bachelor of Arts in Black and African Diaspora Studies is being proposed to fill an important gap in Canadian University curricula. The proposed program will provide an interdisciplinary approach to the histories, thought-material, philosophies, cultures, and lived experiences of Black peoples in Canada, North America, the Caribbean, Africa, and the African Diaspora, with the study and exploration of the historic African Nova Scotian community will be a focal point.
