The track will draw together existing courses in the DH Minor with courses on indigenous and African American history and literature, along with a proposed Library and Archival Foundations course. Faculty and students affiliated with ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ’s Digital Humanities Institute and Africana Studies have collaborated for years on a variety of digital projects involving special collections at ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ and other area archives, nearly all of which are centered on local African American and/or indigenous history. Student interest in archival studies and library information science has accordingly grown rapidly. This concentration will meet student demand and bring curricular shape to the existing courses and internships in these areas. This track in Africana Studies would be the only pre-professional concentration in the Humanities wing of the College of Arts and Sciences.
