A Glance at the African American Literatures and Cultures Institute

Every June since 2010, we've coordinated the African American Literatures and Cultures Institute (AALCI) at the University of Texas at San Antonio. The program was created by Joycelyn Moody -- who's something like the John Coltrane Quartet. I cover the curriculum.

During the summer, we discuss a variety of black studies readings, and we close with a research and cultural trip to New York City. Students receive a small stipend, and abundant intellectual nourishment. AALCI also provides students with GRE instruction and assistance with graduate application materials.

Here's a glance at some of our activities with the past 8 cohorts of AALCI Fellows.
