View the gallery
New York University in Ghana Study Abroad program
hosted a series of free public events on September 27th, 28th and 29th
in Accra, Ghana.

The NYU in Ghana program was launched in Fall
2004, and has hosted 90 students since then, making it one of the largest
study abroad programs in Ghana. Run by Dr. Akosua Anyidoho, the program
is unique in that it allows students to study in three settings: at
Ghana's flagship institution-the University of Ghana, Legon; Ashesi
University- a privatecomputer and business studies institution; and
NYUs own Academic Center where adjunct professors and visiting NYU's
professors offer courses in film, art, social sciences and the humanities.
Distinguished local academics who have taught at NYU in Ghana include
professors Kofi Anyidoho, Kofi Awoonor and John Collins.

AFRICANA SEMINARS, FALL 2005
The goal of the seminar series is to bring together
researchers here at New York University and the immediate vicinity,
who have some interest in Africa. We like to describe it with the Zulu
term
ìIndabaî - a gathering of chiefs for a conversation on matters
of state.
