About this position
The University of California, Berkeley’s African Diaspora Studies PhD explores the lives, cultures, and social organization of people of African descent across Africa, North America, and the Caribbean.
The program takes a multidisciplinary approach to race and its international and national divisions. Students engage with questions of development and underdevelopment, domination and power, self-determination, cooperation, identity construction, marginality, territoriality, and the role of race in political economy and class formation.
Research may also address aesthetic and creative expression, connecting social, political, cultural, and intellectual perspectives within African Diaspora Studies. The program is housed in the Department of African American Studies and is intended for students seeking doctoral-level research training in the study of race, culture, history, society, and transnational African diasporic experiences.
Applications are accepted for the PhD program only.
