About the Africa Working Group
The Africa Working Group provides a forum for resident faculty, graduate students, and outside scholars to present and discuss cutting edge research on Africa. Participants, who come from a range of disciplines, share a common interest in investigating Africa’s past, present, and future, as well as Africa’s place in the larger global order. The group also sponsors Africanist events, enriching the study of Africa on campus and building on growing student interest in the region.
Cochairs: Paul Ocobock and Ellis Adams
Graduate Assistants: Adedoyin Okanlawon, Will O'Brien and Debora Rogo

Jeffrey Page, an Emmy Award- nominated Director, Choreographer and Lecturer in Theatre, Dance and Media at Harvard University, will virtually present a lecture entitled "Call-and-Response as an Africanist System of Governance". This event will take place both in person (Hesburgh Center Room C103) and virtually, and we strongly encourage everyone on campus to join us in person for a richer experience and lunch.
Cosponsored with African Governance Innovations Lab (AWIL).
