Easter term 2013
The Africa Research Forum is an interdisciplinary discussion group for postgraduate students, visiting academics, and Cambridge University faculty members working on Africa-related topics. Participants from any academic discipline are welcome to attend our informal meetings on Wednesdays at 1pm in the Green Room of Gonville and Cauis College. Rather than polished seminar papers, we prefer rough works in progress, which are pre-circulated a week ahead of the group discussion to enable participants to have enough time to develop constructive comments. If you wish to receive notifications of upcoming presentations, and copies of pre-circulated papers, please join Africa Research Forum via this URL link:

You will need a Cambridge e-mail address and Raven password to login.
