Recent projects in Africana studies include:
The Africana Studies Department's emphasis on research and the senior project gives top students the opportunity to publish their work in scholarly journals and present it at research conferences such as the Caribbean Studies Association conference in Curacao. The department offers a course devoted entirely to research skills and methods.
The emphasis in the department is on small classes, one-on-one student-teacher interaction and continual attention to writing and speaking skills. Participation and engagement are crucial in every Hamilton course, but they are especially valuable in the study of other cultures — culture is a conversation.
Africana studies provides a window on some of today's most fascinating topics and emerging issues: world music; film and representation; gender, sexuality and feminism; and the blending of popular and political culture in hip-hop.
The Africana Studies Department brings together distinguished faculty members from a range of disciplines and interests, from African philosophy and development to contemporary African-American political and social thought to classical history and literature. The interdisciplinary breadth of the department makes it not only a valuable and important major, but also an attractive minor for students seeking greater historical and cultural perspective in their own fields.
