African and African Diaspora Field Research

Catalog description

A service-learning course that draws on the principles of experiential learning by immersing students in an organized service activity that meets identified community needs. Field research seeks to empower individuals and groups of people with the skills they need to effect change within their communities. These skills are often created through the formation of social groups working for a common agenda. This seminar and field research course will equip students to better understand and experience how to effectively work with communities and individuals responsible for implementing social policies and practices for social justice.
