The Falola Network (TFN), a transnational research and publication system of scholars and projects, integrating scholars and publishers in various continents, is an initiative that takes to a high and possibly unprecedented level the international culture of scholarship.
It consists of individual books, book series, scholarly articles and conferences organised by Toyin Falola in collaboration with others or organised or written in relation to Toyin Falola, along with two rich Google groups organised by Falola as well as scholars inspired or enabled by Toyin Falola and the initiatives he is central to actualizing.
Toyin Falola is a scholar whose academic education is in history but whose self education and publications span practically every branch of the humanities and a large swathe of the social sciences, a scope reflected in his current appointment as the Jacob and Frances Sanger Mossiker Chair in the Humanities at the University of Texas at Austin.
The initiatives associated with Falola are increasingly growing as a defining force in scholarship on Africa across the humanities and social sciences.
