From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

UCT African Studies Unit - is one part of an interdisciplinary teaching and research cluster that makes up African Studies at the University of Cape Town (UCT) in South Africa. The African Studies Unit and its affiliated partner, the Centre for African Studies, sits within the School of African and Gender Studies, Anthropology and Linguistics. The African Studies Unit offers a full academic programme that concentrates on the graduate level, but is also involved in some undergraduate courses. Students in the African Studies Unit are interested in critical, interdisciplinary, Africa-focused scholarship that thinks outside of the framework of an inherited set of knowledge projects, and are interested in the critical and intellectual traditions of the global south[1] .
