Conference: Africa Multiple – Conversations and Building Networks

International Conference

The conference Africa Multiple – Conversations and Building Networks planned for October 30-31, 2019 is designed as a venue to start conversations between representatives from the various institutions that form part of the cluster’s network. The themes selected for the conversations are high on the cluster’s agenda and also at the heart of debates in African Studies today: the premises of knowledge production, African Studies and the question of diasporas, gender and diversity in African Studies, and African Studies in the digital age. The format will first offer a platform for exchange between a presenter and two discussants and subsequently open the conversation to the audience, with the objective of fostering exchange between different disciplinary approaches as well as between the partners of the cluster’s network.

The conference will be preceded by the award ceremony of the coveted BIGSAS Journalist Award on October 29 and conclude with a closing event where we celebrate the cluster together with our guests and a fusion concert featuring musicians from three continents.
