Each year, the Africa Multiple Cluster of Excellence at the University of Bayreuth starts its line of annual activities and events with the New Year Lecture open to the interested public, featuring prominent speakers who address questions and concepts central to the Cluster’s agenda. In 2022 the COVID-19 pandemic forced the Cluster again to move the New Year Lecture to a digital format.
On 13 January 2022 the New Year Lecture was delivered by Prof. Dr. Peter Simatei Tirop, Director of the Moi African Cluster Centre, Professor of Comparative Literature, Dean, School of Arts and Social Sciences at Moi University in Eldoret, Kenya. It was entitled "Ways of Knowing Africa: African Literature and Shifting Imaginaries".
