Africana Studies is the study, research, interpretation, and the dissemination of knowledge concerning African American, African, and Caribbean affairs and culture. Using the tools of the social sciences and humanities, Africana Studies examines the structure, organization, problems, and perspectives of the peoples of Africa and the African Diaspora. Africana Studies also examines issues of politics and social change in African American communities and various African and Caribbean nations. The term "Africana" incorporates the three areas of concentration within the department--African, African American, and diaspora/comparative social sciences and humanities. The African diaspora comprises people of African origin outside the African continent, and is studied in comparative context.
"Just Takes," is our Op-Ed/thought piece/writing initiative at the Institute for the Study of Global Racial Justice. We encourage our affiliated-faculty and Rutgers Researchers on Race to submit pieces of writing of 500 words or less pitched to orient their research towards a more public audience and/or as relevant for a current issue in the broad area of global racial justice.
Our new dynamic archive, "Justice Archives," is the first-of-its-kind at Rutgers University and other academic institutions and institutes on race, which provides a snapshot of the over 350 events and projects sponsored by Rutgers faculty over the two and half years of ISGRJ’s launching.
Use this comprehensive archive to access all of our current and past events, programs and initiatives. You can browse by category, year, or location.
