Calling all graduate and advanced undergraduate students interested in the study of African American and African art, culture, and history. The Department of African American and African Studies is planning a museum and public history trip to Washington, D.C. during Spring Break 2017 (March 12-16). The trip will include visits to, for example, the Smithsonian Institution’s new National Museum of African American History and Culture, the National Museum of African Art, and the Frederick Douglass National Historic Site. Round-trip travel between Columbus, OH and Washington, D.C. as well as accommodations in D.C. will be covered through the Division of Arts & Humanities and the Department of African American and African Studies, but students will be responsible for paying their own meals (count on $40-65 for three meals per day). A deposit of $200 will be required upon acceptance and will be reimbursed upon travel.
Deadline: JANUARY 20th
There is no class enrollment associated with this trip and students will not be able to receive Ohio State credit.
Spots are limited. If interested, please complete this application and write a one page (double spaced) statement in which you explain why you would like to join the trip and how participation in this trip would further your study and career goals.
