African American Studies at Princeton University

The Princeton African American Studies Department is known as a convener of conversations about the political, economic, and cultural forces that shape our understanding of race and racial groups. We invite you to listen as faculty "read" how race and culture are produced globally, look past outcomes to origins, question dominant discourses, and consider evidence instead of myth.
