Center for Africana Studies
The Center for Africana Studies is dedicated to fostering a deeper understanding of the peoples of Africa and their diasporas.

Through its research, academic initiatives and public programming, the Center’s work seeks to explore the profound ways in which African peoples have functioned on a global scale and how their experiences have resonated around the world throughout history.
