Founded nearly 40 years ago, the Department of Africana and Latino Studies is one of a handful in the United States to integrate and maintain the intersections of Black and Latino Studies. We have also remained steadfast in our concern for social justice upon which the (inter) discipline was founded.
Originally conceived as a way to foster a humane appreciation of the cultures of Africana and Latino peoples largely ignored in universities before the 1960s, the current ALS curriculum and its faculty's research, reflect many of the issues now facing people of color on a global scale. Our program is vibrant and ever evolving, incorporating into our courses new scholarship from critical race studies, social theory, gender studies, sexuality studies, cultural studies, and ethnic studies.
