Building Expertise in Teaching Africa: Decolonizing, Infusing, & Reflecting
Presented by Faculty of the Fulbright-Hays Group Projects Abroad in
Senegal, Summer 2025
The Center for African Studies invites professors, instructors, and graduate
student teachers who would like to include more African content in their
teaching and research.
This year's workshop is led by Pitt faculty who spent four weeks in Senegal
in summer 2025 as part of the Fulbright-Hays Group Projects Abroad
program to decolonize their ways of thinking. They will lead an interactive
workshop on lessons learned and ways their time in Senegal
has impacted their teaching and research.
The workshops will focus on diving deeper into your individual teaching and
research experiences, with time to reflect on your teaching practices and
ways you could include more African content in your syllabi. The day
includes concurrent workshop sessions, a cultural immersion lunch, and closes
with a group reflection and film screening.
