WELCOME MESSAGE FROM YAW NYARKO, NYU VICE PROVOST OF GLOBALIZATION AND MULTICULTURAL AFFAIRS

Welcome to the Africa House website, a home for a number of exciting initiatives in African Studies at New York University.

I encourage you to visit this site frequently to learn about upcoming events and to view updated information about our projects. You will find a wide range of initiatives, from the social science research of the Development Research Institute to the cultural resources of the African Heritage Archives and a forthcoming Medical and Public Policy Research Initiative in our Ghana site.

Our site reveals an astonishing range of work being done on and in Africa across the 14 schools of NYU. Our faculty includes many of the leaders of the study of African history, economic development, political economy, literature, film, and various other fields. Their work daily generates new insight about Africa and the Diaspora.

To sign up for regular emails about events and activities, you can email africa.house@nyu.edu. Please also contact us if you have questions, requests or ideas for us. We want you to feel part of Africa House and its many projects. I look forward to seeing you at our next event.

Best Regards,

Yaw Nyarko, Vice Provost of Globalization and Multicultural Affairs
