Celebrating the Class of 2021
Our congratulations to all DAAS graduates!
Words from Matthew Countryman, Chair of DAAS, Megan Sweeney, DAAS Director of Undergraduate Studies, and Elizabeth James, DAAS Program Associate, and a few words from our graduates!
DAAS GRADUATE SASHES
The sashes/strips are purchased at the large cloth market in Ibadan, Nigeria, known as Oje Market. The strips are called aso oke, which in Yoruba means "cloth from the hills" --or country cloth. They are hand-woven on narrow-strip looms in southwestern Nigeria--where there is a long history of textile production.
