Africa Research Workshop

This long-standing series is the key intellectual forum for Stanford historians who study the African continent and its diaspora. Our workshop showcases completed research and work-in-progress by both Stanford  and external scholars. The interdisciplinary series serves a vital function on campus, bringing Stanford historians together with anthropologists, literary scholars, political scientists, art historians, and is a key fixture of the Bay Area intellectual scene, hosting scholars from UC Berkeley, SFSU, USF, and UC San Diego as well as from further afield.
