Fall 2025

The Center for African Studies Colloquium Series invites lectures, book talks, and panels given by prominent Africa-focused scholars. These colloquia present the latest in Africanist and Afro-diasporic thought, drawing together with inter-campus partnerships across the Bay Area, the wider UC System, and the work of Africa-based thinkers, that is scholars living and working in Africa. The Annual Lecture is a special-guest colloquium, held once a year.

Thursday, November 13 | 4:30 - 6:00 pm | TBC: 340 Stephens Hall, Sultan Conference Room
