Ujamaa Society
The Ujamaa Society was formed at Atlanta University in 1971 as a body to serve the needs of political science students. After the formation of Clark Atlanta University in 1988, the Society's charter was amended allowing a unification of graduate and undergraduate students into a single body. The purpose of the Ujamaa Society is to create and promote friendship, cooperation, and a spirit of communalism and common purpose among and between the students, faculty, and staff of the department.
The Ujamaa Society:
- provides an administrative apparatus to facilitate input of students and the dissemination of crucial information within the Department
- promotes a sense of community among present, past and future Society members
- provides a spiritual sanctuary for African and Third-World liberation
Ujamaa organizes academic and social functions and is supported by member resources.
Seminars
The Political Science Department Graduate Seminar is a department tradition, bringing together faculty, students, and invited speakers in a required regular meeting to exchange ideas and understandings about political theory, praxis and contemporary issues. Topics covered have ranged from gentrification in Atlanta to contemporary slavery in Mauritania (presented by anti-slavery activist Boubacar Messaoud).
