Africana Studies (Qatar) Minor
Department website: https://guq.qatar.georgetown.edu/academics/minors/africana-studies-minor/
The Africana Studies Minor is an interdisciplinary, joint program shared with Northwestern University in Qatar (Northwestern Qatar). Africana Studies provides a critical understanding of African cultures and societies both within the African continent and in global contexts. Although foregrounding continental perspectives, Africana studies also includes African diasporic studies, whether in an American, European, or Asian context.
The minor covers the length and breadth of Africa and its diaspora through a growing range of disciplines. Courses offered include: anthropology, history, literature, media and communication studies, political science, religious studies, and theology. Students are therefore in a position to engage multiple subjects from a rich range of perspectives, explore varied methodologies and theoretical frameworks, as well as interdisciplinary studies.
