The Sonja Haynes Stone Memorial Fellowship and Lecture

The Sonja Haynes Stone Memorial Lecture is the signature program of the Center and, each year, brings a woman lecturer to campus whose work, scholarship and service epitomize the vision and spirit of Dr. Sonja Haynes Stone. Past lecturers have included Pearl Cleage, Alfre Woodard, Angela Davis and Attalah Shabazz.

The African Diaspora Lecture Series

The African Diaspora Lecture Series presents lectures, roundtables and debates on a variety of subjects from the African diaspora. Topics, as well as discussions, are provocative, wide-ranging and informative and give UNC-Chapel Hill faculty, students and the surrounding community an opportunity to offer a critical analysis of the evolution of African-American and other African diaspora cultures.

The Cross-Cultural Communications Institute (CCCI)

The Cross-Cultural Communications Institute, founded in 1990, is a campus forum for discussions of ideas, issues and initiatives about ethnic, cultural, racial and other self-defined communities. The CCCI explores ways to bridge perceived and real differences through constructive dialogue and also proposes active solutions. It brings together students, faculty, staff and community resources in imaginative and creative ways and builds on the efforts of other campus offices.

Sonja Haynes Stone Collegiums

The Collegiums Program provides support for joint research/study projects by faculty and students on various topics in Africana studies. Collegiums support collaborative work on African diaspora subjects from a wide-range of perspectives and from interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary vantage points. This is a new initiative (2004) supported by a donation from Daniel and Beth Okun.

Visiting Scholar Program

Supports short-term residency by scholars from throughout the diaspora. While in residence, scholars may undertake research or other projects of their choice.

Undergraduate International Studies Fellowship

Supports international study by two undergraduates of color or other students who, because of socio-economic or other reasons, may be underrepresented in study-abroad programs. Although the fellowship seeks to encourage students to study in Africa or in an African diaspora country, there are no restrictions on intended country of study. Additional information and applications are available here.
