Our faculty expertise in the global study of race and Blackness in the traditional disciplines of English, anthropology, literature, history, politics, philosophy, sociology and art history makes Africana studies at Cornell a significant resource for undergraduate and graduate students who want to engage in the interdisciplinary study of Black people in Africa, the African diaspora and around the globe.
