Institute for Afro-American and African Studies

The Carter G. Woodson Institute for African-American and African Studies was established in 1981 in response to student and faculty demands for a more coherent African-American and African Studies program and a more aggressive program of minority recruitment at the University. It is an interdisciplinary teaching and research center drawing the majority of its faculty and students from the humanities and social sciences.
