African Studies Research Focus Group (RFG)

The IHC African Studies Research Focus is an interdisciplinary group of faculty and graduate students with diverse research interests in African studies. Established in 1998, the group meets approximately two to three times a quarter to share ongoing research interests in African studies and to discuss relevant readings that engage with theories, epistemologies, and practices of African studies. Once a year, the group hosts an outside speaker addressing an issue relevant to the group’s discussion.
