    Description:

    Please join us in sharing research-in-progress or proposed by graduate students working on African themes across diverse departments at Queen’s. This will also be an opportunity for us to show our respects to one of the founders of African Studies at Queen’s, and indeed, in Canada.

    Professor Emeritus Bruce Berman was among the very first faculty members hired by Queen’s whose research and teaching focused primarily on Africa. His books first broke new ground in our understanding of the decolonization struggles in Kenya, but branched out to wider contributions on development, democracy and ethnicity.

    Prof Berman was instrumental in growing the Canadian Association of African Studies into a major international learned society with a highly regarded journal. Students whose doctoral theses were supervised by Professor Berman are now in government service or teaching and researching in Canada, the West Indies,South Africa,Kenya, and Rwanda.

    This event is generously supported by the Inclusive Community Fund, Office of the Vice-Principal (Culture, Equity and Inclusion), and the Department of Global Development Studies.
