Overview

Key Features

At the African American Studies class at Evergreen State College, you will encounter new ideas about how identity relates to access and power. Not only will you be better prepared with practical skills for careers in an ever-changing world, participating in programs that include Black Studies will transform your existing cultural wealth and knowledge through critical theory.

Black Studies are by their nature interdisciplinary. Programs explore:

African American literature and literary arts
Black agrarian traditions and Black farmers
Black movements in the U.S. and their international connections
Politics and political economy, including the role of mass incarceration and transformative justice
Black history, including enslavement, Reconstruction, Jim Crow, and Civil Rights activism

You will have the chance to link theory to practice through applied, community-based learning opportunities that deal with these topics and more.

Black Studies are explored in related fields of study, especially Ethnic Studies and American Studies.
