Thanks to a generous funding from the Fritz Thyssen Stiftung, our #Remoboko research group is organising its final #conference entitled "#University Campuses in #Africa and Beyond: Training Grounds, Moral Spaces and Political Arenas" at Leibniz-Zentrum Moderner Orient (#ZMO) in #Berlin next week.

This conference seeks to examine how university campuses in Africa and beyond:
1) offer training for various skills and know-how which translate into key assets for the social becoming of students beyond the #campus;
2) become a site of moral activism where competing claims of social good and citizenry lead to projects of self-transformation (individual, collective) and/or even conflicts of norms;
3) feed on various forms of engagements (intellectual, religious, political) while developing their own politics (regional, religious, ethnic, ideological, etc.).

The event will feature 22 papers across 8 panels, a book launch, a photo exhibition and the screening of an ethnographic film.
