Black Studies at Boston College is an interdisciplinary program which offers or co-sponsors over 40 courses each year in several disciplines, including history, literature, sociology, philosophy, theology, and fine arts.

Extractions: NEED HELP? A GUIDE TO PRIMARY RESOURCES IN AFRICAN-AMERICAN HISTORY Primary resources are often defined as works providing first-hand evidence of historical events by merit of their having been produced by witnesses or participants in those historical events. This definition encompasses, for example, unpublished works such as oral histories, letters, journals, and photographs. A slightly broader definition of primary resources can also include published materials written during the period studied. Secondary resources, by contrast, are works such as textbooks, encyclopedias, and scholarly studies that attempt to interpret or analyze primary resources. What follows is a guide to primary resources in African-American history with a focus on those materials that are available at Kenyon and that fall within the time period covered by History 175.

Descriptions Chair: Judith Byfield The Womenâs and Gender Studies Program offers all students at Dartmouth a course of study that systematically examines the construction of gender and the historical, economic, political, social, and cultural experience of women. As such, it is an interdisciplinary program drawing on resources in the Social Sciences, the Humanities, and the Sciences. Womenâs and Gender Studies may be undertaken as a program for a major, a minor, or a certificate. Womenâs and Gender Studies offers a range of interdisciplinary courses as well as an extensive list of associated courses, offered by other departments and programs, that have a central focus on gender or women. Each student designs an individual major plan to combine diversity and concentration, course work and independent study. A studentâs area of concentration will include a senior project consisting of an independent study or an Honors thesis. The major is administered by the Womenâs and Gender Studies Steering Committee. Students design their major plans in consultation with an adviser and with the Chair. All major plans must be approved by the Steering Committee. Major cards may be signed only by the Chair. Students interested in becoming majors should consult the Chair well in advance of their intended declaration of a major.

Extractions: home subscribe current issue search ... search Marriage Promotion, Reproductive Injustice, and the War Against Poor Women of Color BY SARAH OLSON Renita and her husband separated shortly after she stopped using drugs and returned to college. She had also begun attending church. According to Renita, her husband "was insecure because of my security." He gave her an ultimatum, saying she must leave school and stop going to church. When she refused, he left. Despite the abuse and the drugs, Renita says, she felt many social pressures to stay married. Regardless, she says, "it was important not to have him in my life, constantly pumping me full of drugs." She says the relationship had become so abusive that if she had stayed in it any longer, "someone would have ended up dead." Married Good, Single Bad Diverting Dollars One beneficiary is in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Healthy Marriages Grand Rapids received $990,000 from the federal government in 2003 to "facilitate the understanding that healthy marriages between parents is [sic] critical to the financial well-being of children, increase effective co-parenting skills of married and non-married parents to improve relationships between low-income adults who parent children, increase active, healthy participation of non-custodial fathers in the lives of their children, increase the number of prepared marriages among low-income adults, and decrease the divorce rate among low-income adults." The program coordinates local public media campaigns plugging marriage as well as relationship counseling classes, many offered by faith-based providers.

Most of the photographs and negatives he had taken since the 1930s were stored there. Aware of their historic value, Hansen became concerned about their future. He talked to his minister, Rev. James E. Gunther, and Rev. Gunther recommended that Hansen deposit them in the Schomburg Center. Hansen made an initial deposit in 1982. These were principally his inactive files of early photographs. His active files and all of his negatives remained with him until the late 1980s. A second fire in his Bronx studio convinced him it was finally time to deposit his negatives and the rest of his collection in a safe, secure environment. Today, the Austin Hansen Collection of over 500,000 negatives and prints is preserved and accessible to the public in the Center's Photographs and Prints Division. Acquiring the IFCO Collection The lease for the Convent Avenue offices of IFCO had run out. Its new, smaller quarters were not large enough to house everything they had accumulated over the years. Something had to go. The old file cabinets became the first candidate. They were already headed for the street (and the dumpster) when someone decided to call the Schomburg Center. Within a matter of hours, Schomburg staff had arrived to claim the collection which is now housed in its Manuscripts, Archives and Rare Books Division. But for the call, it would have likely ended on the dump and the records of the formative years of this organization's work would have been lost forever.
