International symposium
15-18 March 2022
Gaston Berger University, Saint-Louis, Senegal
Organised to celebrate the publication of the inaugural issue of the Global Africa journal, this international conference aims to provoke discussion and debate around epistemological challenges, conditions of existence, political economy, social legitimacy and the capacity of Pan-African research to influence the world in the face of global challenges. Plenary sessions and panels with top-level experts will focus on the place of multidisciplinary humanities and social sciences in facilitating critical reflection on the continent and its social, political, cultural, economic and scientific trajectories in the context of globalisation.
This conference is co-organised by Gaston Berger University (GBU) and the French National Research Institute for Sustainable Development (IRD), in partnership with the Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa (CODESRIA) in the framework of the Global Africa project, supported by the French Development Agency (AFD). It will be accompanied by the “L’escale des livres”, scientific book fair at which publishers of books and journals will present their publications.
