About

The Center for Africana & African American Studies (CAAAS) is composed of professors, visiting scholars, adjunct lecturers, and staff who are working to bridge the historical, theoretical, and intellectual offerings of the discipline with real life and global issues facing our world today. This scholarly collaboration benefits our students’ academic and career goals, impacts the health and well-being of our communities, and enhances our understanding of society and culture. Thus, the vision of CAAAS is to build a multidisciplinary Africana/African American Studies Program and Interdisciplinary Academic Research Center that serves as a vital resource for student and community development by highlighting both the emergence and relevance of the discipline through its intellectual and academic pursuit.
