The African diaspora is a concept that attempts to comprehend the shared experiences of Africandescended peoples throughout the world, particularly in the Americas. While many of those peoples identify with a particular nationality—being Brazilian, Cuban, or from the United States above or alongside being black, of color, or of African descent—many of them have forged connections with each other across national boundaries and recognized commonalities that transcend their national contexts. This class will use fiction, memoir, and recent historical scholarship to explore the history of the links that Afro-Latin Americans and Afro-North Americans have created in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Ultimately, the course will help us understand the historical possibilities and limitations of conceiving of African Americans as a hemispheric, transnational group.

Welcome to your Wikipedia project's course timeline. This page will guide you through the Wikipedia project for your course. Be sure to check with your instructor to see if there are other pages you should be following as well.
This page breaks down writing a Wikipedia article into a series of steps, or milestones. These steps include online trainings to help you get started on Wikipedia.
Your course has also been assigned a Wikipedia Expert. Check your Talk page for notes from them. You can also reach them through the "Get Help" button on this page.
To get started, please review the following handouts:
This week, everyone should have a Wikipedia account.
Now that you're thinking about what makes a "good" Wikipedia article, consider some additional questions.
It's time to think critically about Wikipedia articles. You'll evaluate a Wikipedia article related to the course and leave suggestions for improving it on the article's Talk page.
Choose an article. Read through it, thinking about ways to improve the language, such as fixing grammatical mistakes. Then, make the appropriate changes. You don’t need to contribute new information to the article.
Familiarize yourself with editing Wikipedia by adding a citation to an article. There are two ways you can do this:
You've picked a topic and found your sources. Now it's time to start writing.
Creating a new article?
Improving an existing article?
Keep reading your sources, too, as you prepare to write the body of the article.
Resources: Editing Wikipedia pages 7–9
Everyone has begun writing their article drafts.
You probably have some feedback from other students and possibly other Wikipedians. It's time to work with that feedback to improve your article!
Every student has finished reviewing their assigned articles, making sure that every article has been reviewed.
Continue to expand and improve your work, and format your article to match Wikipedia's tone and standards. Remember to contact your Wikipedia Expert at any time if you need further help!
Handout: "Did You Know" submissions
Once you've made improvements to your article based on peer review feedback, it's time to move your work to Wikipedia proper - the "mainspace."
Editing an existing article?
Creating a new article?
Do additional research and writing to make further improvements to your article, based on suggestions and your own critique.
Present about your Wikipedia editing experience.
Consider the following questions as you reflect on your Wikipedia assignment:
Everyone should have finished all of the work they'll do on Wikipedia, and be ready for grading.
It's the final week to develop your article.
Write a reflective essay (2–5 pages) on your Wikipedia contributions.
