Administrative Information
Biography/Profile
The Department of Black Studies (previously known as the Department of African American Studies) is a department within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (L.A.S.) at the University of Illinois Chicago. The programs within the Department of Black Studies consist of interdisciplinary fields of study that examine the history, politics, and cultural production of persons of African descent both locally and globally.
The Department of Black Studies was established in 1971 by Grace Holt. In January 1972, a proposal was submitted to the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences to create Major and Minor programs in Black Studies. Initially courses were cross-listed from other departments and were adopted by Black Studies, however, by 1974, the core requirements and courses for both a Major and a Minor in Black Studies were accepted and established by the College of L.A.S.
In 1992, departmental members petitioned to change the name of the Department of Black Studies to the Department of African American Studies. In 1995, there was a complete overhaul to the course offerings, curriculum, and program materials.
In 2019, the Department of African American Studies changed back to the Department of Black Studies.
