A big step towards collaborations between the African Studies Cluster of Excellence ‘Africa Multiple’ and Australian Africa Studies has been made with a visit in Perth and participation at the African Studies Conference in Melbourne. Thank you for hosting us in Perth, and for the mention in the newsletter!
On 12-14th March, The Gateway Office was also invited to participate at the inaugural conference of the African Studies Group in Melbourne on the topic of ‘Borders, Identities and Belonging in a Cosmopolitan Society: Perspectives from African Migrants in the Diaspora’. The conference brought together many post-graduate students and researchers from various disciplines to discuss contemporary issues surrounding African and the African diaspora.
