African and Africana Studies
African and Africana Studies students employ multiple disciplinary perspectives in order to cultivate a global understanding of African societies and the African diaspora.
Concentrators may take courses in Haverford’s three divisions and engage anthropology, economics, history, linguistics, literature, music, philosophy, political science, and sociology in order to develop concentrated knowledges about African societies and the African Diaspora.
