In this Spotlight on Swahili, the Berkeley Language Center sits down with Dr. David Kyeu, who teaches Swahili through the Department of African American Studies(link is external). The department offers a PhD in African Diaspora Studies; currently, students are able to enroll in full-year Elementary and Intermediate Swahili classes. The Center for African Studies(link is external) works hand in hand with the Department of African American Studies on campus. This year, the center welcomes new director Dr. James Davies and new associate director Dr. Duncan Omanga.
