The center aims to:

- Provide a home for scholarly research and dialogue that centers the historical, political, cultural, artistic, and intellectual experiences of the African Diaspora

- Support connections and collaborations among students and faculty, and among scholars and communities within and beyond USC

- Advance global, transnational, and local understandings of Blackness with attention to Africa, the United States, Europe, the Caribbean, and Latin America.
