African American Women and Feminist Thought. African American history, like white American history, omits the struggles and contributions of its women. Focusing on the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries, the individual and collective experiences of African American women are examined. Open to first-year students. Interdisciplinarity involves more than a meeting of disciplines.

Students examine what practitioners actually do and work to become practitioners themselves. This course is the same as African American Studies 250 and American Cultural Studies 250. Open to first-year students. The Demography of U.S. Women.
