NEWS’ VIEW: Fix African studies | Yale Daily News: "When President Peter Salovey injected Africa into his inaugural address, he surprised much of the community. It is time, Salovey said, “to bring scholarship and teaching about Africa at Yale into sharper focus.”
We applaud this pivot. Africa is the world’s fastest growing continent, and is rising rapidly in political influence. It also possesses some of the world’s most dangerous challenges: genocide, war and extreme poverty. Yale students have much to benefit from centralizing African studies in our curricula, just as research here can promote progress there."
