Michaelmas 2021 – seminars

The Northeast Africa Forum brings together students and scholars interested in examining the region from a multidisciplinary and comparative perspective. Our remit runs from the Great Lakes, through East Africa to the Horn of Africa. By hosting lectures by experienced researchers alongside post-graduates, and by mixing academic and policy research, we hope to come to a shared, factually informed and politically relevant understanding of trends in the region.

This term, the seminar will look at a variety of issues, including the evolution of Kenyan law governing control over land and over indigenous people, radio in the context of elite competition during Sudan’s second civil war, relations between market traders and the (idea of) the state in post-1991 Mogadishu, and a discussion of how research does (and does not) inform the US foreign policy process regarding the region.

Due to evolving Covid-19 safety measures, the seminar will be taking place virtually*: Wednesdays at 4.00 pm UK time, unless otherwise noted below**.
