非洲和非洲侨民电子游戏正规平台

中心主题

充分利用AADS辅修课程, students are encour年龄d to organize their courses around the central themes of globalization, 交集, 或者社会正义.

全球化

全球化和非洲奴隶贸易一样古老. 资源开采模式, 劳动, 贸易, 商务, and travel have shaped the experiences of African-descended peoples and the peoples they have encountered. 精选课程探讨不同地理区域之间的联系, 文化传统, 以及定义全球化的历史发展.

交集

Race is defined by various identity categories and social locations such as gender, class, color, 种族, 地区, 国家, 年龄, 性, 政治理想, 精神信仰. 交集 reminds us that race is not a monolithic or homogenous category of human experience.

社会正义

The 历史 of African and African-descended peoples has been defined by the struggle f或者社会正义: the fight for human equality and the fight against racism, 性别歧视, 恐同症, 阶级剥削. 在抵抗奴役方面, 种族隔离, 父权制, 帝国主义, 和殖民主义, 通过努力推翻教育中的歧视, 住房, 医疗保健, 就业, 还有宗教机构, African and African Diasporic peoples have undertaken drives for social emancipation that have expanded the meaning of democratic ideals.

主修要求:31学分(或以上)

The 非洲和非洲侨民电子游戏正规平台 (AADS) major consists of a minimum of 31 credits, 至少相当于10个完整学期的课程. AADS majors can have a second major as long as the student stays in compliance with the University’s regulation that, 为了获得一个专业, a student must have at least 27 credits in the major program that are not used to fulfill requirements for another major or minor. In addition to taking AADS1110非洲侨民电子游戏正规平台导论(3学分) and AADS6600高级研讨会(4学分), 攻读AADS专业的学生需要额外选修8门课程, 其中只有两门是1000级的课程. 其中四门选修课必须是黑大西洋课程. Black Atlantic courses are those that have a global framework that puts different geographical 地区s of the world in conversation with one another within the African Diaspora.

There are two tracks in which AADS majors can concentrate: (1) Intellectual Traditions and Cultural Production or (2) Politics and Social Inquiry. 学生 in the Intellectual Traditions and Cultural Production track examine Black intellectual traditions, 表达形式, and modes of cultural analysis and cultural criticism primarily (but not exclusively) based on textual analyses. In the Politics and Social Inquiry track students examine the development of institutions, 衡量不平等, and identify societal patterns utilizing primarily (but not exclusively) historical and social science techniques. While both tracks are rooted in the interdisciplinary study of the African Diaspora, the Intellectual Traditions and Cultural Production track will be for those students most interested in pursuing careers and graduate studies typically associated with the humanities, while the Politics and Social Inquiry track will attract students with more social science interests.

AADS majors must take six of their eight elective courses in one track and their remaining two in the other. 学生’ elective courses may not fall exclusively in Social Science (沟通, 历史, 政治科学, 或社会学)或人文学科(艺术史), 英语, 音乐, 哲学, 浪漫语言文学, 剧院, 或神学系).
