Mission Statement
Building on Harvard University’s longstanding scholarship and education on Africa, the Committee on African Studies fosters the creation and dissemination of knowledge about Africa and African perspectives, across the University’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences and Professional Schools. As a University-wide entity, the Committee works collaboratively with Harvard’s many loci of Africa-related expertise to expand upon and create new opportunities and resources for education and research, and to enhance connections among and between scholars, students, and groups focusing on Africa-related knowledge at the University, in the broader community, and through partnerships on the continent.
