Africa Research Forum for Social Sciences and Humanities

Africa research in social sciences and humanities holds great local and global relevance. The Africa Research Forum for Social Sciences and Humanities at the University of Helsinki (Afristadi) is a space for such synergetic research and research collaboration in Africa and with African partners. The forum fosters multi- and interdisciplinary research and research dissemination, with two key goals:

• to overcome the limits of Euro-centric knowledge in social sciences and humanities and advocate and fundraise for a greater involvement of African researchers in Africa-related research
• to mainstream the scientific and societal contributions of Africa research at the University of Helsinki and beyond
