Race and Pedagogy Institute (RPI)

The African American Studies 310 course (African Diaspora Experience) will be traveling to Ghana at the end of next semester as their culminating coursework. I am reaching out to share an opportunity for community members to also travel to Ghana on a separate, parallel trip – January 7 – 16, 2020.
