HAPPENING THIS WEEK! Africa Forum | March 5-6, 2026
China and the United States in Africa: A New "Cold War?"
JOIN THE CENTER THIS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY!
The Africa Summit scheduled for March 5-6, 2026, aims to deepen research and collaborative efforts between U.S. and African academic institutions focusing on the economic and geostrategic impacts of U.S.-China engagement in Africa.
The event includes a one-day symposium addressing multiple facets of this dynamic and features a keynote address by renowned historian Toyin Falola. The Africa Summit in March 2026 seeks to further the scope of the Center for Global Black Studies' Beyond the Gables research focus and expand its dynamic programming to focus on Africa. In the first year, the focus will be on the economic and geostrategic significance of U.S.-China engagement in Africa, with particular attention to its environmental and health impacts. A capacity-building workshop for graduate students and junior faculty will be built into the program, and a robust publication output will be the intended outcome, supplemented with related conference presentations. This two-day forum will be followed by an Africa Summit project proposal that is being formulated to apply for an external grant later this year.
