Western to launch Black studies major

Western University is launching a Black studies major this Fall. The program is designed to be flexible enough that students can incorporate it as a double major if they choose. Students in the major can choose from more than 50 courses, including a collaborative course created by faculty at York University, Wilfrid Laurier University, the University of Windsor, and Western. “There are many different ways you could approach it so students can follow their interests,” said Western Associate Professor W G Pearson. “There also may be students who want to understand their own community better or gain insight on one they don’t know as well.”
