Faculty & Departments
Since the 1960s the relationship between the study of Africa and the African Diaspora in American institutions of higher education has been in flux. The complex relationship between Africa and its Diasporas has been at the core of how Haverford’s faculty conceptualizes Africana Studies. The interdisciplinary faculty associated with Africana Studies bring a diverse range of expertise to the field.
