AFST 460 - Africana Research Methods3 Credit Hours
This course will provide students with the building blocks to enable them to read and critique scholarly work in Africans studies as well as to conceptualize and develop their own research proposal. This course provides an overview of social research methods by studying ways researchers formulate research questions, design a research project, collect data, measure aspects of social life, and interpret results. Students will survey and investigate the influences of various methodological approaches and concerns in the discipline; determine their intellectual uses and applications; discuss some of the strengths, benefits, drawbacks, and criticisms of these methods, particularly as they relate to contemporary thinking about local, national, and international Black experiences; and deploy these methodologies in their individual research proposals/projects.
