The Africa Research Forum will be hosting a PhD students’ workshop on Friday 6 February 2015. The aim of this day-long event is to provide a forum for Cambridge PhD students working on Africa-related topics to present their research and share ideas, and indeed to meet one another! We’ve devised this workshop partly out of a concern that it can be difficult for Cambridge graduate students doing research in and about Africa to connect with their peers based in faculties and departments outside their own. Drawing on the interdisciplinary expertise of Africa Research Forum members, this workshop intends to showcase the breadth and depth of PhD projects currently being undertaken in Cambridge under the umbrella of African Studies.
Thanks to the generous support of the Centre of African Studies, registration for this event is free and refreshments will be provided. To view the workshop programme click here. Anyone is welcome to attend the workshop as a member of the audience, but since space is limited we request that you register via the button below. Presenters will be registered automatically.

The University of Cambridge has long been one of the world's leading centres for study of Africa. Vibrant teaching and research programmes focused on Africa exist across the University, including those in the natural and biomedical sciences, archaeology, social sciences and humanities. Cambridge has a reputation for high-quality research relevant to the continent, for the stimulation of debate and for active engagement with Africa-based scholarship.
The Centre of African Studies was established in 1965 by the path-breaking anthropologist, Dr Audrey Richards.
As well as acting as a hub for graduate level and faculty research, we run weekly seminars and research workshops for graduate students and we organise international conferences both in Cambridge and in African institutions.
In addition to fostering PhD level research, we run a one-year interdisciplinary MPhil in African Studies, with teaching contributions from faculty in History, Politics and International Relations, Social Anthropology, Geography and English. The course also includes training in an African language.
We are committed to active engagement with Africa-based scholarship and to this end we welcome visiting research fellows for six-month periods to work with us and share their research. The Centre is part of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences and its work is overseen by a Management Committee whose members re drawn from across the University.
