African and African American Studies
Undergraduate
Bachelor of Arts (A.B.)
The Department of African and African American Studies brings
together scholars and scholarship from many disciplines to
explore African and African-descended people's histories,
societies, and cultures. The field of African and African American
studies is not only interdisciplinary but also comparative and
cross-cultural. The department offers two distinct courses of
study: the African track and the African American track.
Graduate
Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.)
Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences
The Department of African and African American Studies offers a
doctoral degree in African and African American studies, which
identifies synergies in theory, concept and method across the
African Diaspora. Given shared concerns around race, racism,
slavery, colonialism, post-colonialism, modernity and other
conceptual apparatuses for understanding Africa and the
Americas, students are encouraged to think robustly about the
similarities, differences and linkages within the African Diaspora.
The program affords rigorous interdisciplinary training in the
humanities and the social sciences, with a focus on a disciplinary
field, leading to the Ph.D.
Anthropology
Undergraduate
Bachelor of Arts (A.B.)
Anthropology brings global, comparative, and holistic views to
the study of the human condition, exploring the enormous range
of similarities and differences across time and space. It includes
the study of how human behavior has evolved as well as how
language, culture, and society have shaped and continue to
shape the human experience. At Harvard, the Anthropology
Department is divided into two programs: Archaeology and Social
Anthropology.
