Over the course of its 40 year history, the Woodson Institute has advanced African American and African Studies around the world by transforming the professoriate, training the next generation of scholars, and educating the general public about issues of race, social justice, and inequality.
The African American and African Studies curriculum exposes students to the lives and experiences of people in the global African diaspora.
The fellowship program has supported the work of over 180 emerging scholars who have gone on to shape the field of black studies scholarship.
