Africana Studies at William & Mary

Africana Studies at William & Mary The official page for AFST at W&M.

Africana Studies is a interdisciplinary major with a global focus that explores the scholarship on the history and cultural traditions, and the political and economic circumstances which together define over 1.2 billion people of African descent. The central mission of the Africana Studies Program is to prepare students for lifelong learning, graduate study in various fields, and careers in privat

e and public organizations worldwide. Africana Studies seeks to develop a habit of thinking that is interdisciplinarily analytical and a habit of heart that is cross-culturally empathetic. Embracing more than the centrality of race, it is designed to apply a comparative lens to the study of imperial, national, ethnic, linguistic, and religious currents and intersections in Africa, and its far-flung Diaspora in North America, the Caribbean Basin, Latin America, the Middle East, South Asia, and Western Europe.
