Several Yale Students headed off to study intermediate and advanced levels of isiZulu in South Africa, Kiswahili in Kenya and Tanzania, and Yoruba in Nigeria this summer. About Our Summer Programs...

    The Council on African Studies organizes and supports academic courses and programs that bring together students and faculty members from a variety of disciplines. Council members and students are engaged in discussions on interdisciplinary theory, research techniques, field methods, case studies, and comparative analysis. The Council provides a venue for scholars and students to present research as work-in-progress and to exchange research techniques and information.
    The Council is organized as a Comprehensive National Resource Center for African Studies and receives a portion of its funding from the U.S. Department of Education under Title VI of the Higher Education Act.

PIER-African Studies Summer Institute 2008: The Teaching of Africa
    The Teaching of Africais an intensive introductory course in African Studies designed to help educators learn about Africa in a way that they can then teach confidently about its peoples, civilizations, and cultures. It is also developed to help transform other professionals’ perspectives about the continent and to enable participants to identify and access unique resources about Africa. If you are an educator, curriculum specialist, librarian, or a business or media professional, the course will equip you with ideas and practical approaches to the teaching and understanding of Africa.
