AALCI at a Glance

Since June 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. I cover the curriculum.

During the summer, we discuss a variety of Black studies readings, African American visual art, and challenges and opportunities associated with scholarly research. 

The participating summer fellows receive: 
• abundant intellectual nourishment
• extensive feedback on writing 
• selection of free books 
• guidance on creation or development of research projects 
• consultation on Digital Humanities, data storytelling project 
• assistance on graduate application materials.
• a small stipend ($2,000.00)

Here's a glance at the fellows, 2016 - 2018:
