Round Table Discussion
Friday, 5 June, 19:00-20:00
Room: HS 7

Organiser: AEGIS

With this Round Table the Africa-Europe Group for Interdisciplinary Studies (AEGIS) would like to facilitate dialogue between representatives of African Studies’ organisations in Europe, Africa and North America to address key issues of doing African Studies in an unequal world of entanglements.
What direction is African Studies taking in different parts of the world? What are the respective local conditions for doing research and teaching in African Studies and how have these changed in recent years? What are the prospects for developing and maintaining joint research/teaching activities under conditions of increased processes of globalisation? And what does this mean for the nature of this dialogue in a post-colonial era?

Chair
Andreas Eckert, Humboldt Universität (Berlin)
