UJ’S PAN-AFRICAN THOUGHT AND CONVERSATION INSTITUTE
When we re-imagine the future we start right here at home. We think about the future of South Africa and Africa alike and seek strategies and initiatives that we believe will help us to achieve this.
The Institute for Pan-African Thought and Conversation is one such initiative. This highly regarded forum provides scholars, practitioners and thought leaders, as well as influencers from across the continent, a platform on which to contribute to the dissemination of Pan-African knowledge and culture. This not only strengthens UJ’s international profile on such issues but allows us to play a major role in steering Africa to a place of intellectual leadership through innovative Pan-African ideas.
