African American Studies
What is structural racism? What is intersectionality? Why is there a Movement for Black Lives? What future can be imagined for Black America? LMU’s African American Studies (AFAM) Department provides answers to these questions and more!

LMU’s AFAM features award-winning faculty members, who rank among the highest achieving and most innovative in the nation. Our goal is to ensure that students have the resources, training, and will to battle ignorance and manifest social justice.
