Study Trip to Washington, DC

In January, nine of our MA students, together with two staff members, travelled to Washington, DC for a week long study trip.

Highlights included a private tour of the Supreme Court, a walking tour of Black Broadway, a lecture on baseball history at Georgetown University, and a Miami Heat v Washington Wizards basketball game. The students also pursued their own research at the Library of Congress, the People’s Archives, and the African American Museum. A number of students tagged on additional research trips to archives in Utah, Arkansas, and New York.

We are excited that a subsidized study trip to a US city is now integrated into our Masters program!
