ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on curricular changes across higher education in traditional disciplines and in interdisciplinary fields. Black Studies: Theory, Method and Cultural Perspectives, issued in 1990 and edited by Talmadge Anderson, includes an interdisciplinary collection of essays focusing on an emerging paradigm in black studies and appropriate research frameworks, along with sections on African-American history, sociological perspectives, blacks and politics, psychology and the Afrocentric ethos, and black economic perspectives. International or global education has many dimensions and is practiced through a wide variety of programs and activities on college campuses. A 1991 study by the Association of American Colleges found that area studies and issues courses are some important dimensions of international education. Courses on Eastern and Western Europe, Anglo-America, and Latin America predominated in area studies while diplomacy and environment led in global-issues courses.
