Since June 2010, we've coordinated the African American Literatures and Cultures Institute (AALCI) at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). The program was created by Joycelyn Moody. I cover the curriculum and teaching.
During the summer, we discuss a variety of Black studies readings, academic writing, African American visual art, and challenges and opportunities associated with scholarly research.The participating summer fellows receive:
• abundant intellectual nourishment
• extensive feedback on writing
• a selection of free books
• guidance on creation or development of research projects
• assistance on graduate application materials.
• a small stipend ($2,000.00)
• loding at UTSA during the program
Here's a glance at the fellows, 2016 - 2018:
