Africa and Black Diaspora and Economics including a year abroad

Course summary

This joint BA programme centres Africa, the African Diaspora and Black studies. Through critical engagement, it provides strong intellectual grounding that will enable you to situate and engage with Africa in the global stage by acquiring substantive knowledge of historical and topical issues that are related to the continent. You will also get the opportunity to engage with your own understanding of contemporary themes including migration, colonialism, economic change, climate change and popular culture. The BA Africa and Black Diaspora degree enables students to negotiate with some of the key tensions in the study of Africa and its multiple diasporas. This programme is distinguished through its interdisciplinary and trans-regional approach. It engages with the diasporic worlds and connections between regions of Africa, the Black Atlantic, Black Pacific, Europe, Latin America and Caribbean. You will be able to combine your study of disciplines including Politics, Social Anthropology, Languages and Cultures, Economics and International Relations with Africa and Black Diaspora. You will be able to engage on meaningful projects, explore the regions of your interest through the optional summer or year abroad programmes, and graduate as a skilled and accountable global change maker.
