African and Black Diaspora Studies (ABD) is an
interdisciplinary program at DePaul that provides its students with an
opportunity to study the diverse cultures and societies that make up the global
African Diaspora.
African and Black Diaspora Studies encourages its
students to explore the Black experience from a variety of theoretical and
disciplinary perspectives including but not limited to historical, artistic,
sociological, anthropological, and philosophical approaches. Students may
concentrate their study regionally (e.g. Africa, Black America, Afro-Caribbean
and Latin America, etc.) or thematically (e.g. literature and culture,
politics, gender and sexuality, etc.). ABD prepares its students to be
socially-conscious global citizens prepared with the tools of analysis, oral
and written communication, and cultural understanding needed to succeed in
today's world.
