African American Studies
The
African American Studies Department is a multidisciplinary program
of study that seeks, through the humanities and social sciences,
to explore key aspects of the Black experience in a systematic and
structurally integrated fashion. Its broad educational purposes
are to engender among all students an intellectual appreciation
of Black life in Africa and the Americas (especially in the United
States); to enrich the Oberlin College curriculum, and increase
the relevance of an Oberlin education to a culturally diverse world.
Thus, the Department strives to provide the student body, in general,
with substantive knowledge of the Black experience and values that
maximize possibilities for racial harmony. The Department is aided
in its efforts by the Afrikan Heritage House, which serves as the
College's Black communal and cultural center.
Curriculum.
The African American Studies curriculum offers extensive study of
the Black experience in a diasporic setting, including but not limited
to, Africa, North America, and the Caribbean. These offerings are
arranged in three categories: introductory, intermediate, and advanced.
All introductory courses are open without prerequisite, except as
indicated in the course description. African American Studies 101
and other beginning courses may serve as prerequisites to all intermediate
and advanced courses.
Major.
The requirements for the major in African American Studies are consistent
with our view of the field as a multidisciplinary and area studies
program. Major prerequisites are designed to provide students with
a comprehensive understanding of the Black experience as well as
a firm grounding in a single field of study. Both breadth and depth
in the field are to be obtained by majors.
The
major consists of a minimum of 30 hours. In consultation with their
major advisor, students are expected to develop a balanced program
of study and to supplement their work with courses in fields related
to their special needs and interests:
1.
As the introduction to the discipline, African American Studies
101 is required of all majors and must be taken in the freshman
or sophomore year.
2.
All majors are required to take at least one course in each of the
three following subject areas: African, African American, and Caribbean
Studies.
3.
All majors are required to take not less than nine (9) hours each
from the humanities and social science divisions, as multidisciplinary
training. Students must also ensure that these courses are drawn
from at least four of the five core fields (i.e., education, history,
literature, politics, and fine arts).
4.
An additional nine (9) hours, including the Senior Seminar, are
to be taken in a single field of specialization. Specialization
is offered in the following areas: education, history, literature,
politics, and the fine arts (i.e. art, music, theater and dance).
Students are required to show a balance between introductory and
advanced courses in their specialization.
5.
All majors are required to take the Senior Seminar in their junior
or senior year.
6.
Up to six (6) hours of credit may be gained from cross-listed or
cross-referenced courses (such as Religion 284, Art 072, Sociology
277, Polt 254 and Theater 268), or from approved cognate courses.
Minor.
A minor in the field consists of a minimum of 15 hours in African
American Studies. In addition to the introductory survey course,
student minors are expected to take at least one course from the
fields of: education, politics, history, literature or fine arts.
All minors are required to take at least one course in each of the
three following subject areas: African, African American, and Caribbean
Studies.
Honors.
The honors program offers an opportunity for majors of proven ability
and independence to extend their competence in the field of African
American Studies.
Students
have the option of writing a research paper, completing a special
arts project, or demonstrating advanced pedagogical skills. All
honors work is supervised by a faculty advisor who assists the student
in defining the nature of his/her honors project.
Africa
Program. Study opportunities are offered in the English-speaking
countries of Ghana, Kenya, and Sierra Leone, where students are
placed at universities. Similar opportunities exist for students
proficient in French at the University of Dakar in Senegal. Students
on financial aid should consult the Director of Financial Aid before
planning to participate in the program.
Off-Campus
Programs for Credit. Field work in programs approved by Oberlin
College in Africa and the Caribbean is encouraged. By approval of
the department students may count a maximum of six hours of such
work toward the major. Prior permission from the department must
be obtained to receive credit.
Transfer
of Credit. Students transferring credits in African American
Studies from courses taken at other institutions may apply a maximum
of nine credit hours toward the major with the approval of the department.
Individual cases for students who transfer into the College after
their sophomore year will be reviewed by the department.
Winter
Term. The African American Studies faculty will sponsor individual
projects, on- or off-campus, in African and African American art,
dance, education, history, literature, politics, and theater.
Private
Reading. Students may schedule a reading course during their
junior or senior years. No more than one reading course may be taken
in any one semester, nor more than two during the undergraduate
program. Normally the private readings may not duplicate a regularly
scheduled course. African American Studies Department (afamstud)
