Our Mission
The African Studies Program offers a unique window into the vital, dynamic, but frequently misunderstood continent of Africa.
Our MissionAbout
The African studies program seeks to foster an interdisciplinary understanding of a range of issues that face the African continent today, from politics and economic development, conflict management and resolution, governance, public health, and a variety of others, within the historical context. Encompassing several of the world’s fastest-growing economies, an unparalleled ecological diversity and a vibrant population of more than a billion, Africa is a place of dynamic political, economic, social and environmental change- areas that warrant examination in any academic discipline.
