African History Graduate Student Collaborative

African History Graduate Student Collaborative The African History Graduate Student Collaborative (AHGSC) is run by a group of PhD Students in African History at the University of Minnesota.

The African History Graduate Student Collaborative (AHGSC) is composed of a group of University of Minnesota graduate students who are all working on their doctoral degrees in African History. Our “Collaborative,” which is a product of a research workshop, titled “The Problem of Time in African History," funded by the Consortium for the Study of the Premodern World (CSPW), critically examines the

disciplinary practices that have often lead historians to reproduce Africa as the subject ‘other’ of the West, and predispose all systems of knowledge production to Western understandings of African histories. AHGSC firmly believes that this critical work is essential to all disciplinary approaches to the study of Africa and has thus established this collaborative to further our commitment to promoting and initiating new opportunities for discussion and collaboration between Africanist scholars across disparate geographical spaces. Our aim is to produce lasting relationships and conversations among Africanist scholars working within various institutions nationally and internationally.
