Mission
The Paul R. Jones Initiative (PRJI) fosters educational inquiry, interdisciplinary engagement, and critical thinking with and through African American art at the University of Delaware. Founded in conjunction with the gift of the Paul R. Jones Collection, the Initiative supports a broad range of programming intended to strengthen the collection and its interconnectivity with campus life and community. The Initiative supports teaching and research related to the collection and curricular outreach related to American arts and culture in dialogue with Africa and its diaspora.
Sponsored by the College of Arts and Sciences the PRJI centers and foregrounds the arts through its support of interdisciplinary practices.
