USA Africa Dialogue Series - Africology 2.0 Symposium: Moving the Pendulum Forward

The International Africology Association will host two-day a public symposium June 21-22, 2019 at the Ralph J. Bunche International Affairs Center at Howard University in Washington, D.C., 9 A.M. until 6 P.M. (each day). The aim of the confab is to advance the academic and social responsibility goals of Africology (the African-centered study of African ethos/phenomena) as a self-conscious, critical and rigorous body of knowledge in academe, and throughout the world. And secondly, to assist participants to constructively navigate in a diverse range of intellectual domains that affect the lives of African people and issues everywhere, via a trans-disciplinary and trans-generational context that can effectively engage the dynamics of African global culture and ethos wherein they can exchange and channel information, research findings, and ideas.
