5C Intercollegiate Dept. of Africana Studies Established in 1969, the Intercollegiate Department of Africana Studies offers a rich academic program to all students at The Claremont Colleges.

The mission of the Intercollegiate Department of Africana Studies (IDAS) is to examine, through various academic disciplines, the experiences of people of African heritage worldwide. Interdisciplinary in both research and teaching, the department promotes collaborative projects with other departments in our consortium and with scholars at other institutions. Our curriculum includes courses in anthropology, art history, history, literature, psychology, religious studies, and interdisciplinary areas. These courses are designed to accommodate the needs of both majors and non-majors. Africana Studies courses and programs provide significant preparation for students pursuing careers in a variety of fields, including education, social work, public policy, law, medicine, business, and international relations.

Join us for a conversation with Dr. Brian Kwoba, Associate Professor of History and Director of African American Studies at the University of Memphis, as he discusses his award-winning book, Hubert Harrison: Forbidden Genius of Black Radicalism. 🏆
His book reclaims Harrison's groundbreaking contributions to the fight for socialism, racial equality, and women's liberation, a visionary legacy that has been largely erased from popular memory. Until now. ✊🏾
