Uraian Tempat
The Department of African American Studies at UIC was established in 1971 under the visionary leadership of Professor Grace Holt. Like many of their national counterparts, the strong intellectual arguments for the program were accompanied by political organizing by faculty, students and members of the local community who made strong claims about the University’s obligation to be more open and accessible to the diverse population of citizens in Chicago. In particular, the case was made that since UIC was founded as a land-grant institution, because they sit in a major urban area with a sizeable Black community, and given the wealth of local history related to the study of race and ethnicity, establishing an intellectually vibrant Department of African American Studies was not only possible, but critical to the growing national prominence of this University at that time. So, while the inception of AAST here was part of the larger intellectual trend in the mid 1960’s that was beginning to recognize scholarship on race and ethnicity as legitimate academic areas, the particular origin of this program at this university is noteworthy and has important implications for the role of the Department today. The most important activity they engage in is providing a high quality undergraduate education to students who choose to major in African American Studies and to expose other students to the growing body of scholarship in the area. The curriculum is interdisciplinary, with courses that focus on the social sciences, the humanities and history. Secondarily, the Department of African American Studies works to support the recruitment, retention and professional advancement of African American faculty and scholars whose work is concerned with Black Studies, and facilitates a relationship between UIC faculty, students and staff and the broader Chicago community of scholars and institutions whose work is consistent with the goals and mission of UIC.
