Conference details

As countries continue to grapple with COVID-19, the pandemic's impact on the African people has been less severe relative to the Western world. The Africa Center this year will focus on the impact of COVID-19 on the economy, democratic institutions, peace, security, and human development in Africa. We will also develop partnerships within the school, across campus and with African universities to foster learning, research and cultural experiences.
