In reaction to the high number of attempted coups in Africa over the last three years, the UGA African Studies Institute presents a virtual panel discussion. This special APERO session is co-sponsored by the University System Africa Council (USAC). It will feature faculty panelists from five institutions across the state discussing pertinent issues related to the recent strings of coups in Africa. Some of these have been successful in bringing the military into power in Burkina Faso, Chad, Gabon, Guinea, Mali, Niger, and Sudan. Featured panelists on the virtual town hall are Dr. Nuru Akinyemi, Kennesaw State University, Dr. Chris Ippolito, Georgia Institute of Technology, Dr. Levar Smith, Morehouse College, Dr. Cathy Skidmore-Hess, Georgia Southern University, and Dr. Charles Ubah, Georgia College and State University.
Registration is required to gain access to the webinar.
