Posting Summary
Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, is a leading national research university and the state of New Jersey's preeminent, comprehensive public institution of higher education.

Douglass College is a non-degree-granting program open to undergraduate students at any of the degree-granting schools of Rutgers University-New Brunswick.

The Global Village Learning Communities offer a year-long experience in a themed house. Students take two credit-bearing courses in the Fall and Spring, conduct research on a topic related to the theme, and engage with the larger New Brunswick community through service learning. There are five themes and courses offered for the 2024/2025 academic year: 1. Race, Gender, and Identity; 2. Sustainability and the Environment; 3. Global Health and medicine; 4. Africana- Gender & the Black Diaspora; and 5. La Casa - Latino/a/x & Caribbean Diasporas. Class is held on Mondays 5:40 P.M. to 7:00 P.M.

This course offers students an interdisciplinary and intersectional study, research, interpretation, and dissemination of knowledge concerning peoples of Africa and the African Diaspora. It is grounded in critically analyzing race, gender, sexuality, and class, with additional attention to Indigeneity, ethnicity, citizenship, nationality, religion, ability status, and other social categories. The course provides an expressly interdisciplinary environment for learning, drawing widely on academic traditions in the social sciences and the humanities. Students gain tools to critically analyze and engage our world and to enact change in their communities and professions.
