Blending Critical Race Theory (CRT), digital humanities (DH), and community-based research methods, USC’s BA in African American Studies interrogates power, culture, and resistance across the Black Atlantic. Students curate VR oral-history exhibits, apply GIS to map redlining legacies, and analyze hip-hop lyrics with NLP sentiment tools. Field placements with L.A. advocacy NGOs equip majors with policy-writing and grant-making fluency, positioning them to drive equity initiatives in media, education, and public health.
