Tell Me About Award:
This programme is linked to SOAS ‘Pan-African frontiers and identities: the remaking of Africa in the world’ project. The project explores pan-Africanism as a system of ideas for collective action, examining how it becomes animated and its significance in the African policy arena, popular politics, and diaspora identities. We welcome applications from researchers whose work prominently features a pan-African approach, broadly defined as methods that amplify African agency and underscore the importance of solidarity and collaborative pathways to address common African challenges. We particularly encourage contributions that address continental and regional issues, as well as national issues that hold significance for regions, the continent, or African diasporans.
