A Preliminary Report and Commentary on the Structure of Graduate Afrocentric Research and Implications for the Advancement of the Discipline of Africalogy, 1980-2004

Katherine Olukemi Bankole

West Virginia University

The purpose of this article is to discuss the findings of an examination of 81 randomly selected dissertations submitted for completion of the doctoratelevel degree between 1980 and 2004. In this sample, 37 institutions of higher education in the United States produced doctoral recipients who based their major research on Afrocentric analysis. This random sampling of dissertations does not begin to indicate the actual number of dissertations that utilized an Afrocentric theory and/or methodology in higher education between 1980 and 2004. However, the sample gives us an important indication of how Afrocentric scholarship has captured academic and intellectual enthusiasm and provided a groundbreaking theoretical and methodological basis for the discipline of Black studies. The analysis of these dissertations indicates significant findings for the advancement of the discipline of Africalogy.

Key Words: Africalogy • African American studies • Black studies • Afrocentric research • theory • methodology
