The Center for African Studies organizes the Let's Talk Africa series to bring together the Pitt learning community and beyond to talk about Africa-related matters. It is designed to be a platform for people to talk about their experiences studying about or in Africa, doing internships, conducting research, volunteering, working, and other learning activities in African Studies. Let's Talk Africa is a forum that allows students and members of the community to talk about Africa's achievements while also exploring challenges and policy solutions. We welcome you to submit your interest by completing this form.
