About the Africa Research Forum

The ARF was formed in 2013 and brings together scholars from three of the four Colleges at the University of Lincoln: Arts, Social Science and the Lincoln International Business School. PhD students working on Africa-related topics (and often from African countries themselves) are very active in the Forum, which provides them with a congenial ‘home’ to discuss their research as well as contemporary events.

The ARF has hosted a successful seminar series and three research symposia. The symposia bring together researchers from Lincoln with invited speakers from other institutions. Past programmes may be viewed at:  https://africaresearchforum.blogs.lincoln.ac.uk
