BSAA is an interdisciplinary program where faculty mentors, student mentees, and external collaborators work together to develop Open Educational Resources related to Black Studies. Each semester, faculty who are not traditionally in ethnic and race studies disciplines work with faculty from the Ethnic and Race Studies Department, and experts from the selected countries and/or communities to mentor students also from various disciplines in the research process and creation of teaching and learning tools. Participants are grouped into cohorts comprised of faculty mentors, student researchers, external collaborators, and Humanities Alliance Fellows from the CUNY Graduate Center who work on various assignments to support the structure of the program. We also have been fortunate to welcome volunteers.
