Goldsmiths - University of London

The University of London's Centre of African Studies is pleased to introduce a new seminar dedicated to the study of southern Africa. The seminar aims to provide a forum for the discussion and dissemination of new and recent research in the humanities and social sciences as it relates to the region. Although the research interests of the convenors lie firmly in the disciplines of History and Anthropology, our approach will be an interdisciplinary one. The seminar will take the form of one workshop each academic term and will typically see the presentation of four or five papers around a common theme.

We aim to present a selection of these papers online in our Working Papers series.

The seminar is kindly funded by the Centre of African Studies, the Department of History, Birkbeck, and the Department of History, Goldsmiths College. We look forward to welcoming all interested parties.
