Yale Council on African Studies

This time last week, we were enjoying various skits from our African language students (Swahili, Yoruba, and Zulu)!!! Here are a few highlights ✨

On Monday, students gathered with their favourite Zulu teacher [Nandipa Sipengane] and TA [Phiwo] to paint, listen to music, and wind down! Here are a few of the stellar works of art we saw 🎨✨ #africanstudies #studentlife #yale

Ending the year with a Lawn Party ✨🥳 It was beyond exciting to see African students from various grad and professional schools across campus, come together for an end of year celebration! Community is important and we look forward to hosting more events of this nature in the upcoming year!!! Thank you to @yaleafricanstudies for supporting this endeavour.

It was truly an honor and a privilege to welcome Dr. Janie Cole to share her profound insights on 'Senzeni Na?' 🎶✊at the CAS lecture series. Her talk on music, social change, and incarceration in the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa truly enlightened and inspired us all. Thank you, Dr. Cole, for enlightening us with your knowledge and perspective.
