Dalhousie University introduced a new Black and African Diaspora Studies major this fall. The major–which Dal says is the first of its kind at a Canadian university–explores the historical, societal, and cultural dimensions of African Canadian life and the global Black experience, covering topics on oppression, racial justice, resilience, and empowerment. The major builds upon the curriculum of a minor in Black and African Diaspora Studies that was launched in 2016. “People have a healthy interest in this,” said Dal Professor Dr Isaac Saney. “They may not all be able to take the entire minor or major, but the course itself benefits that student body as they want to learn about this.”
