Are You In?

Are you a first-or second-year student wondering whether sociology or anthropology could be your future? A practising sociologist or anthropologist navigating real field challenges? An employer unsure what a “Sociologist” job title should actually require? A curriculum developer or teacher asking whether training matches the workplace? A scholar wondering whether African sociology is visible on its own terms? A development partner wanting local social-science capacity you can rely on? This symposium is built for you.
