The Africana studies program will showcase some of its students’ research to highlight their individual achievements and to illustrate the kinds of exciting and often game-changing questions and revelations afforded by the discipline on Thursday, February 13, from 12:15 to 1:30 p.m. in Bulger Communication Center 214.

What difference does Africana studies make? As scholars of Africana studies, we hear this question a lot, asked in various ways. While the answer is intuitive to us, we understand that it may not be to others. Africana studies research is relevant to many students, and it can pique their interest and help retain them as students here at Buffalo State College. Come and support four of our Africana studies student researchers as they discuss the Black Power Movement in the Caribbean, speech-language pathology in Ghana, the effect of curriculum on black adolescent identity in Buffalo, and a little-known civil rights activist. This event is open to the campus and community.
