The College of Humanities and Social Sciences (CHUSS), with funding from Lisa Maskell, is hosting its first Graduate Symposium targeting PhD fellows from Uganda and the PANGeA affiliated universities of Yaoundé, Nairobi, Dar es Salaam, Malawi, Stellenbosch, Ghana at Legon and Botswana, scheduled June 19-21, 2025 at Makerere University Main Hall. This is in recognition of the Graduate Schools' accomplishments in training the next generation of African scholars in Historical Humanities and Humanistic Social Sciences.
The 2025 edition is interested in curating works drawn from research proposals, draft theses, or research articles for presentation from the fellows' ongoing projects. In addition to presenting their work in progress and gaining the academic and professional skills necessary for 21st century Humanities and Social Sciences academics, this will bring fellows together in an interactive and networking collaboration.
The symposium will be an in-person academic event, and we would be honored if you accepted our invitation. For inquires, reach out to the organising committee at chusssymposium@mak.ac.ug.
