About Africa and Black Diaspora and..., BA - at SOAS University of London

This BA programme centres Africa, the African Diaspora and Black studies. Through critical engagement, it provides strong intellectual grounding that will enable students to situate and engage with Africa in the global stage by acquiring substantive knowledge of historical and topical issues that are related to the continent. Students will also get the opportunity to engage with their own understanding of contemporary themes including migration, colonialism, economic change, climate change and popular culture.

The BA Africa and Black Diaspora and... (combined degree) will enable students to negotiate with some of the key tensions in the study of Africa and its multiple diasporas. This programme is distinguished through its interdisciplinary and trans-regional approach. It engages with the diasporic worlds and connections between regions of Africa, the Black Atlantic, Black Pacific, Europe, Latin America and Caribbean.

Students will be able to combine their study of disciplines including Politics, Social Anthropology, Languages and Cultures, Economics and International Relations with Africa and Black Diaspora. They will be able to do meaningful projects, explore the regions of their interest through the optional summer or year abroad programmes and graduate as skilled and accountable global change makers.
