Overview
AADS majors join world-class UT faculty, staff and students in conversations about race, gender, sexuality, class, and the concept of global Blackness. Students will study diverse topics such as anthropology; diaspora theory (particularly in Central and South America); education; Black feminism and women’s studies; health; identity; law, policy and government; art, literature, music and performance theory; queer theory; social justice and engaged scholarship; and sports.
Career Opportunities
Students are encouraged to be critical thinkers, skillful writers, thorough researchers, and politically conscious and active community members. In today's global society, nearly every career requires knowledge about the ways in which race, gender, sexuality, and class impact transnational populations. AADS prepares students to think critically about social relations in the U.S. and around the world.
Students interested in careers in education, law, politics, health, and the fine arts will find that the African and African Diaspora Studies BA program offered at University of Texas at Austin will readily accommodate their future career and academic plans.
