Anthropology and African American Studies converge in the mutual project of making sense of how racial formations impact global processes, and well as in the generation of new methodologies for studying power and resistance across the social sciences and humanities. Yale’s Combined Ph.D. in African American Studies and Anthropology includes introductory coursework in both departments followed by qualifying exams and a dissertation prospectus process that encourage students to creatively combine these fields in ways that support their own emerging scholarship.
