News & Events

We are pleased to introduce our new News & Events page, dedicated to highlighting recent developments, scholarly activities, and upcoming events within the Caribbean Studies Department. This space will serve as a hub for academic announcements, faculty achievements, guest lectures, conferences, and other initiatives central to our intellectual community.

The Caribbean Studies program hosted renowned writers Kei Miller and Merle Collins. 

The Caribbean Studies Program has been awarded a three-year NEH grant to develop a team-taught interdisciplinary course and digital library to investigate shared connections between Afro-diasporan liberation movements in the USA and the Caribbean. The course, 'Afro-Diasporic Circuits of Liberation (USA and Caribbean)' will be a capstone for the interdisciplinary Caribbean Studies Minor and will form part of the general education requirements in COAS. Its flexible assessment modalities will also allow it to be cross listed to fulfill other program needs within COAS, including those of the Honors Program; the departments of English, Philosophy, History, and Afro-American Studies; and the Chadwick Boseman College of Fine Arts.
