Africa Talks is a monthly community lecture series organized in collaboration with the UW African Studies Program during the Fall and Spring semesters. The goal is to provide a platform to discuss insights, perspectives, and current events related to the African continent and diaspora. Africa Talks facilitates meaningful engagement within our diverse community around issues of mutual interest and importance. The community lectures provide a platform for sharing and celebrating the rich and diverse cultures of Africa, promoting cross-cultural understanding and appreciation of African traditions, languages, art, and music.
