In 1968, student protests led to the creation of the Black Studies Department and Center for Black Studies at UCSB. Charles H. Long has been a mentor, professor, and director critical to the development of what was an emerging field of African diasporic studies. His distinguished career includes serving as the Director for the UCSB Center for Black Studies and as a professor at the University of Chicago, the University of North Carolina, Duke University, and Syracuse University. Many of the students he advised have become key scholars in African Diaspora studies and in Religious Studies.
Thanks in part to his contributions, Black Studies is now an established field of study at UCSB. Professor Long has been a visiting professor at the University of Capetown in South Africa, University of Michigan and the University of Missouri. He was one of the three founding editors of the journal History of Religions. He is the author of Alpha, The Myths of Creation; The History of Religions: Essays in Understanding, ed. with Joseph Kitagawa; and Significations: Signs, Symbols and Images in the Interpretation of Religion, and of numerous articles and reviews.
