Why choose this program?

For more than four centuries, individuals of African descent have maintained a significant presence within Canada. 

The intricate and impactful narratives of Black Canadians, encompassing experiences of oppression and racial injustice, yet intertwined with narratives of resilience and empowerment, have frequently been overlooked. Through the lens of Black and African Diaspora Studies, you will embark on an exploration of the historical, societal, and cultural dimensions of African Canadian life and the broader global Black world. 

Discover the often-ignored African Canadian society and culture from both a historical and contemporary perspective. Through core courses and other materials, you will discover, analyze, and celebrate the history, culture, and sociology of Black people in Canada and of the global African diaspora.
