Grant Summary

$25,000 over 12 months to develop a first-year, two-semester, team-taught course focused on literature, art, and other works from across Africa and its diaspora that show students connections from antiquity up to the present day and design pathways that connect the humanities to students’ professional aspirations. Sections of the proposed first-year sequence will be piloted during the planning phase.
