Focus on Africa will take place Wednesday, September 3rd 12 pm-1 pm in Memorial Union room N-51 in the International Center. Focus on Africa is hosted by MU Africa Hub once a month during the semester. The mission of the Africa Hub is to promote the study and understanding of Africa. The purpose of the program is to encourage MU Africanist scholars to meet each other, stimulate each other’s thinking, and potentially lead to the creation of broader research networks and/or joint scholarship. The program is free and open to the public. Join us, come relax and learn!
