Welcome to the new website for the Department of African American Studies! We have worked diligently for eight months to ensure that online visitors will be able to navigate through our site with ease. The photographs you see throughout are from Emory University’s Special Collections, and reflect visually the rich range of research materials available there. A special thanks to Randall Burkett and Teresa Burk of Special Collections for providing these images.

Check back frequently for updates on faculty activities, course offerings, and the many special events African American Studies sponsors throughout the year. If you have any additional questions about the website or the department, please feel free to email us at AAS@emory.edu
or contact Leslie M. Harris, Chair Associate Professor, History and African American Studies.
