On the occasion of the 33rd Swahili Colloquium, from 14th to 16th May 2021, we will host the workshop Critical Swahili Studies funded by the Cluster of Excellence “Africa Multiple – Reconfiguring African Studies”. The Workshop will be held online via Zoom. If you want to take part, please write to us at swahili@uni-bayreuth.de and we will send you the link. The overarching aim of this workshop is to engage in critical reflection on the field of Swahili Studies that will also contribute to Cluster of Excellence’s agenda of reconfiguring African studies.
