Undergraduate Research Symposium on Black Life and Culture

This symposium highlights the groundbreaking research of undergraduate students exploring the intersections of Pan-Africanism, race, class, and gender. It provides a platform for students to engage in critical discourse, demonstrating the depth and impact of their work. More than just an academic exercise, this event empowers students to articulate the significance of their research within scholarly communities and in shaping broader conversations that influence American society.

Undergraduate participants will present original research or creative works related to Pan African and/or Black Diaspora Studies on their chosen topic.

This one-day symposium will feature moderated panels of undergraduate research papers, video projects, performances, poster board presentations, visual art, slide presentations, and an array of other scholarly and creative mediums.
