What is it about?
Whether it is the result of Latin American slavery or colonization, a collective memory of endurance and resistance binds Black people from the African continent to Black diaspora. Black people from all corners of the globe have always explored, theorized, documented, visualized, and archived their people’s creativity and resilience. Global Blackness experiences indicate the larger community of Black people within each diasporic community. GCC Brazil concentrates on the experience of Afro-Brazilians and what the future could be for them given their historical realities.
The details:
Take a DAAS course on Global Blackness on-campus in Winter 2026, then apply your knowledge abroad while attending the GCC Brazil: Global Blackness program for 3 weeks in the summer with U-M faculty and friends.
Join CGIS Advisor Juliana Mesa to learn more about the GCC Brazil - Global Blackness program, the application process, and the courses.
