I am requesting funds to purchase Virtual Reality technology and software that be used to enhance Africana Studies and Department of Political Science courses. (I hold a joint position in both programs.) VR technology is an innovative approach used to augment college instruction (see https://www.forbes.com/sites/charliefink/2021/03/09/morehouse-college-starts-vr-classes-with-victoryxr/?sh=2f5784512ba3). For example, VR technology can be used to reproduce civil rights events and deliberations inside political institutions. It is also used in science and literature courses. The VR technology will be shared among two to four Africana Studies and Political Science faculty per semester and 150+ students per academic year.
