III. Goal and Mission.
The goal and mission of the project is to train students in the culture and
history of Egypt and the rest of Africa. Students will explore the cultural
linkages of the Nile Valley with the rest of Africa, particularly Ethiopia and
Nubia. Our curriculum has three areas of concentration: First, students will be
trained to foster broader knowledge about ancient historiography of Africa.
Second, the field studies program will promote and strengthen the cultural ties
between the United States and the host countries. Third, the proposed field
studies program will help to complete the curriculum for the future
archaeological expedition . The cultural and ethnological connections of ancient
Africa will help scholars to modify the methodological framework for the study
of the ancient world including the classical studies of ancient Greece and Rome.
This curriculum will be posted on the web site and regularly updated to inform
students and faculties about the program; new information will be made public on
the web site.
