Introduction to African Studies

"(...) it is not simply that a part of African history lies somewhere else, outside Africa. It is also that a history of the rest of the world (…) is present on the continent. Our way of belonging to the world (...) has always been marked by (...) the interweaving of worlds." (Mbembe 2007: 28) -> Achille Mbembe

The module series "Introduction to African Studies" offered by the African Science Hub Graz (ASH Graz) fills a gap at the University of Graz, where "African Studies" are not institutionalized on the one hand, and, on the other hand, where the interest and the necessity to deal with Africa in a new way in our globalized world is absolutely evident.

The modules can be attended individually, free of charge and without content requirements or as a complete series with the possibility of obtaining a certificate.
