Past Faculty Development Programs

SPRING 2005

“Africana Studies in the New Millenium” is a continuation of the series started in the spring. Open to anyone teaching Africana Studies-related courses at CUNY, the goal of the workshops is to promote development in the study and teaching of the African Diaspora, encouraging CUNY scholars to create programs reflective of the various discourses that continue to shape the field.

“Africana Studies in the New Millennium” is offered once again with the support of a CUNY Faculty Development Grant. The goal of the seminars is to engage CUNY faculty in an ongoing dialogue about the state of Africana Studies and how it relates to their research and to the students they teach.

All seminars are held at The Graduate Center (365 Fifth Avenue, on the corner of Fifth Avenue and 34th Street) one Friday each month from 1:00pm to 4:00pm (lunch is included).
