Roots Schedule
The Seminar will usually meet on three or four mornings each week, for five consecutive weeks. This schedule affords participants as much time as they can utilize for the personal projects they will have come to Charlottesville to develop, while meeting sufficiently often as a group also to engage enriching new materials and perspectives relevant to their interests. No weekend or evening sessions are planned, although previous ROOTS participants have often organized video showings and other occasions, as well as frequent shared suppers and entertainment expeditions.
Week 1 : “Organization: African Understandings”
Week 2: “More African Meanings”
Week 3 : “Embarkation, Exile”
Week 4 : “ Remembering Africa in America”
Weeks 5: “Research Results and Teaching Applications”
