AFS 502 - Research Methods in Africana Studies
This course introduces students to basic concepts of research methodology, specifically as they pertain to studies of the African diaspora. Students will be exposed to a variety of critical approaches across such disciplines as history, literature, political science, and sociology in the context of Africana studies. Students will examine the ways in which theoretical, ideological, and philosophical assumptions about race, class, and gender shape the kinds of research questions we ask and the types of instruments we use to investigate and evaluate the experiences and contributions of people from the African diaspora.
