The Africa Hub supports existing research and teaching at the University of Missouri through new opportunities for grants, patents, economic development, and outreach. The Africa Hub enhances the prestige of our institution and leads to greater mutual understanding and a deeper knowledge about our history and future as human beings on this planet.
As Africa plays an increasingly prominent role in all aspects of world affairs, we know the Africa Hub’s strength is MU’s robust network of researchers, teachers, and students from a variety of disciplines whose works focus on or are developed in Africa.
The Africa Hub has a strong commitment to robust public service by cultivating a space where scholars and students can deconstruct stereotypes about the African diaspora, explore the continent’s vast terrain, examine its cultures and traditions, and illuminate pressing issues, thereby shaping new frontiers of knowledge that encourage and promote understanding and study of Africa.
