Graduate students in African American Religions will be trained to produce a transdisciplinary research agenda based on how religious cultures and traditions produce/recreate the African Diaspora and continental Africa from U.S. slavery to the present. From examining African populations in the U.S. and the African Diaspora to exploring primary epistemic oral and archival resources, lived religious traditions, material culture, and folk culture to institutions and social movements, the program will provide a substantive study of religion and research in Africana methodology.
