These electives should include advanced courses in at least two disciplines and constitute a coherent area of concentration. In addition, one course should study the African diaspora, one course should use gender as a primary category of analysis, and one course should have an experiential or fieldwork component. The proposed area of concentration and sequence of courses should be worked out with the faculty advisor and approved by the fall semester of the junior year. All majors must complete a senior. Interdisciplinarity involves more than a meeting of disciplines.
Practitioners stretch methodological norms and reach across disciplinary boundaries.
Through examination of a single topic, this course introduces students to interdisciplinary methods of analysis. Students examine what practitioners actually do and work to become practitioners themselves. This course is the same as African American Studies 250 and Women's Studies 250. Independent study of selected topics by individual students. Students must meet periodically with faculty and complete papers or projects.
