The last African History Day took place on 9 November 2013 under the title “5thAfrican History Day: Archives, Methods and Sources” at Basler Africa Bibliographien. Besides the annual interdisciplinary Researching Africa Day of the Swiss Society of African Studies, the African History Day has always been a great opportunity for historians working on Africa in Basel and Zurich (and sometimes other parts of Switzerland) to discuss their projects within the expert community and talk about current trends and debates in the discipline. The thriving communities of African historians in Zurich and Basel would like to continue this tradition and after an eight-year break renew and strengthen their collaboration.
Current planning is for the workshop to take place in Zurich with participants in physical attendance. If that is not possible, the event will take place via zoom.
