AAAS Event: Diaspora Table
come to the table
Diaspora Table is an invitation to Graduate and Undergraduate students to discuss scholarship related to the African Diaspora (African America, Caribbean, Euro-Africa, Afro-Latin, Diaspora, Mixed Race, etc...). The work of invited speakers, research of peers, and scholarly perspectives on contemporary issues will be on the table. Discussions will be led by graduate students with knowledge of the topic and oriented toward rich discussions with undergraduates.
