From its location in New York City, amid one of the largest and most diverse African-descended populations anywhere, the Center partners with NYU sites in other locations to establish new global connections with parallel initiatives and institutions around the world. These collaborations form a new nexus of scholarly interaction, while the Center serves as a hub through which NYU’s programs, departments, and institutes coordinate activities related to Africa and its Diaspora. Through multiple fora at all levels of the academy – undergraduate, graduate, and the professorate – CSAAD encourages dialogue between and among scholars, cultural workers, activists, policy makers, and various other constituencies, with a view toward social justice, political empowerment, and the amelioration of the human condition, worldwide.
