What is African Studies, and what does it mean to study Africa at Emory and in the 21st century?

About this event

We invite all faculty, students, and staff to participate in a guided conversation about the questions that shape our research, teaching, and other engagements with Africa. This IAS workshop serves as a starting point for a yearlong conversation. Together we will reflect on questions including: • What is African Studies? • What does it mean to study Africa today? • How can the Institute of African Studies at Emory build on existing structures and connections as well as foster new collaborations, perspectives, and forms of engagement? Whether you teach, conduct research, or are simply interested in Africa and its global connections, we welcome your perspective.

Come join us to exchange ideas, build community, and imagine the future of African Studies at Emory.
