UF AASP Faculty and Students at the 2010 National Council for Black Studies (NCBS) Annual Meetings
The two-semester long capstone course for African American Studies minors is organized around the design and implementation of original research. This year the results of the students’ projects were showcased at the annual meeting of the National Council for Black Studies, which met in New Orleans, March 17-20, 2010. Dr. Marilyn Thomas-Houston organized a two-part panel, “Developing Black Studies Scholars: Undergraduate Research at the University of Florida.” The papers stimulated a lively discussion and prompted faculty from around the country to address the advantages of integrating primary research into undergraduate teaching. The University of Florida’s African American Studies Program received praise for its exemplary teaching. Congratulations to the students of AFA 4937 and their professor for your hard work! And thanks to Dean Paul D’ Anieri of the College of Arts & Sciences for the generous support that made the students’ conference travel and participation possible.
