Lectures
.
MIASA offers both public lecture series as well as individual guest lectures. The MIASA Public Lecture Series feature MIASA fellows in residence. The MIASA Public Lecture series are primarily directed to faculty, students and non-academic staff of the University of Ghana but are also open to the wider public.
The Anton Wilhelm Amo Lecture is organized annually by MIASA at the University of Ghana in collaboration with the Institute of African Studies and the Department of Philosophy and Classics at the University of Ghana. It is named after the 18th century philosopher from present-day Ghana who taught at the universities of Halle and Jena. The lecture series promotes MIASA’s overarching commitment of making African thinking increasingly relevant in global academia, and it addresses questions of how the humanities and social sciences can contribute to the decolonisation of knowledge production and epistemic justice.
