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.

Fall 2024 | North Africa in Focus

Dominant approaches to the study of African history have relegated North Africa to the margins despite its integrality as one of the key sites where the continent converges with Asia, Europe, the Atlantic, and the Mediterranean. In recent years, scholars have engaged in new approaches to North African history that offer generative and innovative insight into the study of the continent. For the fall programing of the workshop, we will focus on highlighting the work of North African scholars whose work centers sources and voices from the region.
