Overview
As the African Diaspora at New York University is as much a conceptual landscape as a geographic one, the field encourages research agendas that explore connections involving communities of the African-descended that extend beyond geopolitical boundaries; the interrogation of relationships of varying nature and scope with Africa; and/or the examination of a specific site or idea that engages with the African Diaspora as a conceptual framework.
Features
- Lines of inquiry can extend in any direction, and can focus on the cultural, social, political, scientific, and economic, or on any combination thereof.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- Study of the African Diaspora at NYU is linked closely to the study of Africa, a separate but related Ph.D. course of study.
- By design, students in the African Diaspora acquire a familiarity with the dimension of Africa most related to their interests, and their professional development is keenly shaped by the experience.
- While housed in History and fundamentally historical in approach and training, the study of the African Diaspora, to be successful, must necessarily be informed by methods and perspectives derived from disciplines outside of History.
