UC Berkeley’s African American studies department was awarded a $2.8 million grant by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation on Dec. 11, 2020, to support an initiative led by the department’s faculty.
Referred to as the “Black Studies Collaboratory,” the project seeks to encourage community involvement in the area of Black studies while expanding opportunities for new voices in the academic arena. Divided into four parts, the project involves think tanks, a summer intensive for graduate students, a grants program and a closing retreat with community partners, according to Leigh Raiford, campus associate professor of African American studies.
