African Studies at Oregon

The African studies committee encourages teaching and scholarship on Africa, with an emphasis on sub-Saharan Africa. The committee monitors and provides information about resources at the University of Oregon, including faculty and staff members with expertise in African studies, study abroad programs, internships, course offerings and syllabi, journals, and films. The committee also seeks funding to expand African studies resources and organizes campus and local community events pertaining to Africa in cooperation with the African Students Association. In addition, the committee supports faculty and student research on Africa and facilitates dissemination of research through the regularly held Baobab Lectures, for faculty and guest presentations, and the Acacia Seminars, for presentations of student research and experiences.
