Africology NOW!

The Africology Now club is a student organization created to encourage both undergraduate and graduate studies in African and African Diaspora Studies at UWM (formerly the Department of Africology) and to educate members on topics and issues concerning Africa and its diaspora, racial and gender inequality, and segregation and Black mobilization.

Club members, as well as faculty and staff, meet regularly to engage in peer tutoring, exchange creative writings, plan trips and get-togethers, and discuss career opportunities. In addition, we invite important Black activists and intellectuals to UWM to speak at cultural and academic events, as well as participate in Black Studies forums such as the Conference of the Association for the Study of African American Life and history.
