UNC-Chapel Hill’s BA in African, African American, and Diaspora Studies combines rigorous humanities training with community-engaged research. Students trace the political, cultural, and economic trajectories of Africa and its diasporas—examining slavery, colonialism, Black liberation movements, and contemporary transnational identities—while building strong archival, ethnographic, and digital-humanities skill sets. Fieldwork opportunities with local museums, global study programs in Ghana and South Africa, and collaborative projects with the Sonja Haynes Stone Center empower majors to translate scholarship into social impact and public memory initiatives.
