Courtesy Faculty

Faculty members of our Department maintain a healthy interaction with other disciplines mostly through joint and courtesy appointments. Our Department is enriched in its research, teaching, and service by a host of faculty members budgeted to other departments but whose areas of academic interest are Africa and/or the African Diaspora.
