Wake Forest University is launching a program in African American Studies with Wake Forest Professor of the Humanities, Cory D. B. Walker, as its inaugural director.
Walker will also be teaching the first course in the program, which is an introduction to the subject. Residents of Youngsville who are interested in this topic may want to consider enrolling in the program.
There will be 11 courses offered in the program this fall made possible by collaborations with several departments and programs on campus. Among the courses to be offered are African American Rhetoric, Black Feminist Theory, and Black Popular Culture. There are over 23 professors who will be contributing to the program. Local Print shops can be hired to create Booklets and Brochures with more information about such programs.
The program will be offered as both major and a minor with the plan to also offer a graduate certificate. Those who major in this program will work on original research projects and need to complete a capstone course in their senior year that will enable collaboration among scholars, students, and activities in the community to create and synthesize new knowledge.
The program is being supported by an anonymous gift of $1 million made in January. The Dr. Dolly A. McPherson Fund for African American Studies was established with this gift and named after the first, full-time African American female member of the faculty at Wake Forest.Get a Free Quote for Print Get a Free Quote for Booklets Get a Free Quote for Brochures
