The multidisciplinary programme African American and African Diaspora Studies from Indiana University Bloomington seeks to:
- create and share with academic and nonacademic communities scholarship of the highest quality dealing with the broad range of the African American and African Diaspora experience;
- promote the study and understanding of the historical and contemporary connections among Africans, African Americans, and other New World black communities; and
- affirm the democratic tradition of equal opportunity for all by combating all forms of discrimination based on ethnicity, gender, class, and religious differences.

- to expose students to issues throughout the African Diaspora;
- to refine critical and problem-solving skills in both the humanities and social sciences;
