African American Studies (Minor)

Program Overview

African American Studies enables all Hood College students to expand their knowledge and appreciation of Black history and culture. Firmly based in liberal arts, the minor’s interdisciplinary approach provides students with opportunities to study the lives and contemporary experiences of people of African descent in America.

Our program focuses primarily on African Americans in the United States, but includes a series of courses on African culture, history and politics worldwide. The curriculum allows students to examine the interrelated dynamics of class, gender, race, ethnicity, politics and identity.
