This article focuses on a new course called “Race and University” taught in Fall of 2018 started by Dr. Patricia Lott, an Assistant Professor of African American and Africana Studies.

These exhibits archive the history of race and racism at Ursinus College by students publishing archival evidence of racialization at Ursinus. Dr. Lott’s course focuses on institutionalized racism in American higher education, and how it has delayed marginalized groups, since the inception of the first university, from receiving higher education. The course also covers a plethora of different issues and historical moments associated with race and racism in graduate schools.

African American and Africana Studies Minor Requirement description
A thorough explanation of the African American and Africana Studies program and the electives that may count towards the minor.
“African American and Africana Studies” is the minor requirement description written by the office of the Registrar and published in the 2004-2005 Ursinus College Course Catalog. The African American and Africana Studies program allows students to study the experiences of people in the African Diaspora (i.e. The United States, Latin America and Africa). In order to attain the minor, students must take two classes: Issues in African American and Africana Studies and Readings in African American and Africana Studies. The minor requires 4 additional electives which span across 11 different departments. While this is the first catalogue to include the African American Africana Studies minor, several of the courses have been offered in years prior. No more than 2 courses from a single department will be counted towards the minor.
