Historical NoteReturn to Top
Through the Black Studies Center, young scholars in introductory African American and Diaspora Studies and African American history courses will be introduced to graduate study rigor and research in a way that’s transformative. UW’s Black Studies Center launched with several initial goals: to create an institutional platform that will dedicate efforts and resources to support culturally responsive teaching, rural community-focused engagement and evidence-based research related to Black studies; to inspire and provide students with opportunities to understand and appreciate the importance and interrelations of the complex concepts and theories that constitute Black studies; to assist students in securing the necessary skills to think critically about, convey and articulate the conditions of the Black experience by developing a sense of cultural insight to identify and understand patterns of historical development; and to introduce students to the fundamental rigors of graduate research to comprehend the importance of historical interpretations’ theoretical underpinnings.
