The researchers of Future Rural Africa Project C05 Framing Futures recently edited a special issue of the Nordic Journal of African Studies (NJAS), titled “Framing Difference in Age and Generation in Africa”. The editors would like to extend an invitation to the launch event, taking place at the University of Cologne and online:


Based on a workshop in Arusha, we (Joachim Knab, Alice Mitchell, Sabrina Msangi and Thomas Widlok) have recently published a special issue on “Framing Difference in Age and Generation in Africa” with the Nordic Journal of African Studies (NJAS).

To celebrate this and to briefly present the contents, we would like to invite you to an online launch on 9 April from 10:00-11:30 at the Institute of African Studies (Room 1) at the University of Cologne.

Apart from the presentations, there will be a Q&A session, you will be able to find out more about publishing with NJAS, and there will be snacks and drinks for different ages and generations. So juniors, middle-aged and seniors, please attend!
