AAAS at MSU is a Black Studies Department that embraces, without apology, Black feminisms, Black Gender Studies and Black Sexuality Studies. Our mission is to provide an integrative education that engages conditions of Blackness locally and transnationally.
We specialize in community and cultural works, cultivating radical imagination and collective revolutionary knowledge production. As a unit we are committed to making concrete connections between our scholarship, pedagogy and social justice.
Your gift could go a long way with helping us achieve these goals. AAAS is a new department and we could greatly benefit from the help of your donations and support.
Your gift to the Department of African American and African Studies supports an integrative education in the following areas:
Your gift supports experiential learning opportunities, programing and conference participation for current undergraduate students.
Your gifts allow the department to continue to hire and retain the highest quality faculty possible
Your gifts provide unique and exciting recruitment, retention and community engagement opportunities related to our curriculum for students and faculty.
If you would like to establish your own expendable/endowed fellowship or include us in your estate plans, please contact the Development Office for the College of Arts & Letters, or call our offices at 517-353-4725.
