After a welcome to country by Uncle Paul House the conference made a powerful start.Acting Deputy Vice-chancellor Professor Ann Evans confirmed the ANU’s interest in Africa.
In Session 1 David Mickler demonstrated how Curtin’s engagement with Africa had grown rapidly in the last 12 months and suggested a national pathway.
Matthew Neuhaus gave a revealing overview of the Australian Government’s wavering engagement with Africa. Karo Moret Miranda described how, in spite of the amazing feedback for African courses at the ANU in 2023, the only 2024 course was on conflict in Africa.
Session 2 on Health demonstrated the valuable and relevant African research being done and by ANU researchers, with collaborators within and beyond the ANU, and jointly with other institutions. Omoge Adeyemi added an international element by contributing virtually from Spain.
