UB now accepting applications for Masters in Caribbean Cultural Studies The University at Buffalo’s Master’s Program in Caribbean Cultural Studies offers motivated, mature and independent-minded students the opportunity to study through an unprecedented partnership between the Escuela de Estudios Hispanoamericanos (EEHA) in Seville, Spain, the Universidad Atónoma de Yucatán (UADY) in Merida, Mexico, the Universidad de La Habana (UH), Cuba, and the University at Buffalo.
This first-of-its-kind Masters in Caribbean Cultural Studies program provides students the unique opportunity to gain first-hand knowledge of the complex history, cultures, and intellectual traditions of the insular and continental communities of the Caribbean and the Greater Insular Atlantic world, as well as in their diasporic populations in North America and Europe.
Student work may be channeled through a variety of different paths and thesis/final project outcomes: from historical research to documentary filmmaking, from critical cultural studies to policy papers, from essays on politics and philosophy to performances and artwork. Yet, all studies are faithfully predicated on the basis of active cultural immersion and thoroughly grounded in the methodical study of archival sources and history.
Participants in this unique two-year program will have the rare opportunity to spend two of four semesters studying outside of the United States. This journey is framed within a rigorous academic program that provides proper methodological training to prepare students for fieldwork and intensive archival research.
