In particular, the course will explore how various forces (e.g., environmental, structural, social and political states of anti-Black racism-based trauma) have impacted the quest for African American health and well-being. Additionally, the course takes a sociohistorical perspective to engage students in learning about how various systems, institutions, and experiences impact Black health. Some of the more pertinent issues, events, and experiences to be discussed include: the Tuskegee Experiment, Henrietta Lacks, and the realities of “Medical Apartheid,” which reveal some historical grounding for contemporary issues, such as the Flint water crisis, environmental justice, access to healthy foods, and generational trauma. Each of these contribute to the health and vibrancy of African American families and communities.

AFST 325 - Studies in Black Education 3 Credit Hours
This course explores Black education in the United States, with a primary focus on Black youth and their K-12 educational experiences in public educational settings (e.g., schools and community-based organizations). The course investigates the historical, political, sociological, and psychological issues that impact the educational trajectories, opportunities, and outcomes for Black youth. The approach will be threefold. First, the course will explore what Dr. Carter G. Woodson has articulated as the “miseducation” of Black people, thus identifying how educational sites, teaching, and practices can impact students’ attitudes and efforts as well as the resources that are available to them. Second, the course will explore how Blacks have been agentic in their educational efforts, from developing schools and education programs to teaching and educational practices that contribute to their successes. Third, the course will examine the family-community-education nexus and how these connections matter to Black educational experiences.

This course examines the literature and unique lived experiences of African American men as they seek personal, political, and creative expression. Additionally, this course centers on the ways in which Black boys and men negotiate and navigate the ways they are (re)positioned in U.S. society. The critical lens used in this course reevaluates the making and unmaking of Black maleness/Black manhood, ‘constructed’ gender norms and sites of ‘irreconcilable Blackness’ reflected in the lives of Black men. Incorporated are several genres and the voices of a range of Black men across various walks of life; students will be engaged in readings from autobiographies and narratives to critical assessments of Black men’s lived experiences and sense making.
