Imagining Africa’s Future marks SOAS’ centenary, and in order to celebrate a century of African studies we look forward to examine future key trends, changes and debates that are likely to shape the African continent over the coming century, drawing from a broad range of disciplines and perspectives in a truly inter-disciplinary conference.
The 2-day conference seeks contributions addressing issues relevant to five broad, cross-cutting and interconnected themes: a. Language and linguistic inclusion b. Law, governance and economy c. Production and transmission of knowledge and skills d. Development, aid and trade e. African media, cultural representation and production.
