Harvard’s PhD in African and African American Studies fosters scholar-activists who interrogate the global Black experience through archival discovery, digital humanities, performance ethnography, and social-policy analysis. Doctoral candidates engage dual mentorship across history, sociology, literature, and public health; teach core courses such as “Freedom Dreams”; and lead community fellows programs in Boston and Accra. Graduates enter tenure-track posts, museum curatorships, and leadership roles in equity think tanks.
