WELCOME TO UPPSALA UNIVERSITY'S FORUM FOR AFRICA STUDIES
Uppsala University's Forum for Africa Studies is an inter-disciplinary centre
that covers all three disciplinary domains of the University: Humanities and
Social Sciences; Medicine and Pharmacy; and Science and Technology. The purpose
is to support research on Africa in Uppsala University and to facilitate
contacts and exchange of research information between departments as well as
outside the university, particularly on the African continent. Forum leads
research projects, organizes lectures and round-tables, and hosts seminar
series, both the Friday Seminar in Africa Studies, and three Virtual Seminars.
Since Jan. 2023, the Forum has a renewed mission!
Uppsala University's Forum for Africa Studies is hosted by the Department of
Cultural Anthropology and Ethnology.
