Independent Study

» Africana Studies Department I.S. Titles

The Independent Study requirement at Wooster provides an opportunity for students to pursue in depth a topic of their own choosing, with the one-on-one guidance of a faculty member. Africana Studies opens exciting avenues for student research in a wide variety of areas. For example, Sara Kennedy ’03, a double major in women’s studies and Africana Studies, wrote That’s Just Her Magic: An Investigation of Africana Women’s Experiences in the Kitchen, while Brooke Roi’elle McKay Lockett ’02 studied “Equal Justice by No Means Guaranteed Under the Law”: Racial Bias, Gender Discrimination, and Incarceration of African-American Men, Women and Juveniles.
