Course Title: Special Topics in Anthropology: 'Black Ethnographers'
Start Date: 09/03/2025 End Date: 12/16/2025
Term: Fall Semester 2025
Description: The aim of this class is to underscore the significance of Black perspectives and contributions within the field of anthropology. Black anthropology, and especially Black feminist anthropology, has historically been sidelined within anthropological discourse. In this course, we will collectively challenge this historical erasure by centering the work of Black ethnographers. By delving into works spanning continental Africa, the Caribbean, and the United States, students will begin to understand the vast impact Black ethnographers have had both in and outside the field of anthropology.
