Mission
The African Studies
Workshop (ASW) is an interdisciplinary forum for graduate students and
faculty whose work concerns the material and sociocultural
lives of people of the African continent and its
discursively constituted diasporas, presently and historically. The
workshop
has active members in the fields of anthropology,
history, literature, political science, religious studies, and history of
culture. In addition to regular presentations by students, faculty, and
invited guests, the workshop hosts biannual Red Lion Seminars jointly with Northwestern University’s Program of African
Studies. Annual conferences hosted by the workshop in recent years have
resulted in published volumes on key questions in African studies.
