Boston University's Graduate Student Conference in African Studies will be celebrating its 25th consecutive event. This year’s conference will feature the work of emerging graduate scholars engaging Africa from a variety of disciplines and focusing on the themes of xenophobia, disenfranchisement, and exclusion.
