It was such a great experience learning so much about Africa. Dr George educated us really profoundly on the African experience and we read super rich texts by experts in the field of Africana Studies. It's incredible how much you learn in this class and how you can apply it to your life today. Dr George treats everyone like a scholar.

Doctor George is an educator that really pushes his "scholars" to be the best. It's not lecture heavy at all, it's solely based on discussions throughout class in the way that a "seminar" is. The majority of the semester will be individual presentations for "the students chance to teach a lesson." Be prepared to actually participate in discussions
