Inclusive Scholarship: Developing Black Studies - Ford Foundation

164 Inclusive Scholarship: Developing Black Studies in the United States
Indeed, on June 16, 2000, program officer Margaret Wilkerson did
convene a meeting of African American Studies program and department
directors. Participants discussed a range of issues including the challenges
of departmentalization and of establishing Ph.D. programs, the role of national
African American Studies organizations, the importance of technology
to the development of the field, the continued need for gender analysis
in African American Studies scholarship, and the need for gender balance
in African American Studies leadership—a theme that would lead to publication
of a book on the subject by Johnnetta B. Cole, president of Bennett
College, and Beverly Guy-Sheftall, Anna Julia Cooper professor of Women’s
Studies and English at Spelman College (see Epilogue).
