In Africana Studies at William & Mary, we help students explore the histories, cultures, politics and economies of the diverse nations of Africa and the global experiences of African and African-descended peoples. Our courses invite students to think critically across borders and time periods, connecting ideas from history, culture and contemporary life.
Your support allows us to create meaningful learning opportunities that reach beyond the classroom. Gifts like yours help us offer high-impact programs such as lecture series, symposia and special events that bring leading scholars and artists to campus. Support also makes it possible for students to collaborate with faculty on research and to engage deeply with new and evolving curriculum.
A gift to Africana Studies directly supports student learning, curiosity and connection, helping students gain the global perspective and analytical skills that define the strong liberal arts education that is the hallmark of the William & Mary experience.
