Africa Research Forum 2024
Tue 5 Mar 2024 2:30 PM - 5:00 PM GMT
Dockrill Room, King's Buildings, WC2R 2LS
Description
What kind of doctoral research on, in and with Africa takes place at King’s College London? How do our students critically reflect on the benefits and challenges of research in the continent?
As part of Africa Week 2024, The Africa Research Group hosts an annual PhD forum to answer these questions and more with a showcase of some of the latest PhD work on Africa from across the College.
The event takes place in person and features presentations by King' students from various departments and academic disciplines. They will introduce their PhD research – from the early stages to near completion – with the opportunity for feedback and interaction with the audience.
This event is free and open to all.
