Conference Modalities 2021

Description

Description

The second Cluster Conference took place in July 2021. It provided a platform for the global African Studies community to present and debate the latest developments in the field. Focusing on the topic of “Modalities” this was the first in a series of conferences devoted to the Cluster’s annual themes. As one of the four heuristic angles around which the Cluster organizes its joint theoretical and conceptual work, modalities or modes of relating serve as a guide to the study of multiplicity, relationality and reflexivity, the Cluster’s core concepts. The angle of modalities is designed to support the systematization of research findings, but also to connect to a variety of theoretical concepts derived from the modes of relations the Cluster members encounter in their research.
