The doctoral program in Luso-Afro-Brazilian Studies and Theory expands upon the achievements and possibilities of current Portuguese undergraduate and graduate offerings at UMass Dartmouth.
Southeastern Massachusetts' distinctive population, featuring a significant number of Portuguese-speaking residents with roots in Portugal, Brazil, and Cape Verde, has consistently played a vital role in advancing Luso-Afro-Brazilian studies at the university.
This PhD initiative leverages the diverse interdisciplinary expertise of our faculty. Housing six tenure-track professors who all instruct in both MA and PhD curricula, UMass Dartmouth's Portuguese Department stands as the country's most extensive program in this field.
