BWS 304 - Research Methods in Black World Studies

Institution:

Loyola University Chicago

Subject:

Black World Studies

Description:

Chicago has a growing number of newly formed communities whose ancestors are/were African. Among such populations are Cuban, Haitian, Nigerian, Belizean, and Jamacian peoples. These neo-African communities in Chicago tend to cluster in patterns related to available housing, ethnicity and natality. Many factors including language barriers, educational and employment disadvantages as well as cultural ubiquity often leave these newcomers' needs unattended. This course provides instruction in research methods useful in understanding the social and political needs of such marginalized populations. The primary research model for this course is Participatory Action Research methods.
