Greetings! Thank you for visiting the Africana Studies department webpage. COVID-19 has impacted our daily lives in unprecedented ways, however, our commitment to student success and excellence has never wavered. Please take a moment to read the following information items:
As of August 23, Africana Studies faculty will be teaching remotely, and the World Cultural Studies office will only be open on a very limited basis. Because of this, phone calls are not the most effective means of contacting us.
When visiting the World Cultural Studies Office, you must always wear a mask over your mouth and nose. Likewise, you must adhere to social distancing guidelines. Failure to comply with these health and safety measures will result in you being asked to leave and any rude, belligerent, or otherwise disrespectful behavior will not be tolerated.
Dr. Donna Nicol, dnicol@csudh.edu
We will get back to you as soon as we can.
Our customary in-person activities including our Fall Mixer, Distinguished Lecture Series, Black History Month Events, MLK Symposium will be held virtually until further notice. If you are an Africana Studies major/minor, please check your Toromail for announcements about upcoming departmental events.
