Concordia University will launch a Minor in Black and African Diaspora Studies in the Canadian Context program this September. This 24-credit program will be hosted by the Interdisciplinary Studies section of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and led by Senior Lecturer Christiana Abraham. “The creation of this program responds to a long-standing demand,” said Concordia Provost Anne Whitelaw. “In addition to being a key recommendation from the President’s Task Force on Anti-Black Racism, it underscores our commitment as a signatory of the Scarborough Charter to combat anti-Black racism and foster Black inclusion in higher education in Canada.” Concordia states that the program is the first of its kind in Québec.
