Black Canadian Studies

 

The Black Canadian Studies minor is dedicated to promoting the unique histories, experiences, communities, and politics of Black Canadians. Students engage with Black political and labour initiatives, and Black creative expression in the arts through literature, music, and narratives in popular media. We explore contemporary and historical questions and examine how Black Canadians have worked to shape our society and contribute to our understanding of the world.
