The Africa Institute at Western University was created to advance scholarship related to African societies. The Institute is an interdisciplinary entity with the participation of many diverse faculty members, staff and students from across campus. Its members are building sustainable collaborations and partnerships with African peoples and institutions to foster initiatives that address some of the most pressing issues facing the African continent. Partnerships forged by the members of the Institute extend over several sectors including, but not limited to: research, health, education, business, government, engineering, and arts and literature.
