The newsletter published short pieces that provide scholarly insights into a changing Africa, addressing the variety of methodological, theoretical, empirical, and ethical concerns reflected in the study of African political science. More importantly, it aimed to build a community that connects junior researchers, highlight contemporary scholarly debates, and share some of the exciting research and educational opportunities on the continent. In Summer 2017, alumni were given membership to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.afpol.org\/\">African Politics Conference Group<\/a> (APCG) and were integrated into ongoing section communications such as <a href=\"https:\/\/thisweekinafrica.substack.com\/\">This Week in Africa<\/a>, a weekly bulletin that curates news about democracy, development, and daily life across Africa.<\/p>\n<p>Co-editors for 2015-2017 were George Bob-Milliar (Kwame Nkrumah University of Science &amp; Technology; Ghana) and Jeffrey Paller (University of San Francisco; USA). From 2013-2015, the newsletter was co-edited by Sethunya Mosime (University of Botswana) and Dorothy Mpabanga (University of Botswana).<\/p>\n<p>Past issues of the Africa Workshops Alumni e-Newsletter are available here:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/web.apsanet.org\/africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2016\/11\/Africa-Workshop-Newsletter-Oct-2013.pdf\">Africa Workshops Newsletter &#8211; October 2013<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/web.apsanet.org\/africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2016\/11\/Africa-Workshop-Newsletter-March-2014.pdf\">Africa Workshops Newsletter &#8211; March 2014<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/web.apsanet.org\/africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2016\/11\/Africa-Workshop-Newsletter-Nov-2014.pdf\">Africa Workshops Newsletter &#8211; November 2014<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/web.apsanet.org\/africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2016\/11\/Africa-Workshop-Newsletter-May-2015.pdf\">Africa Workshops Newsletter &#8211; May 2015<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/web.apsanet.org\/africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2016\/11\/Africa-Workshop-Newsletter-Nov-2015.pdf\">Africa Workshops Newsletter &#8211; November 2015<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/web.apsanet.org\/africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2016\/11\/Africa-Workshop-Newsletter-May-2016.pdf\">Africa Workshops Newsletter &#8211; May 2016<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/web.apsanet.org\/africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2016\/11\/Africa-Workshop-Newsletter-Dec-2016..pdf\">Africa Workshops Newsletter &#8211; December 2016<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/web.apsanet.org\/africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2016\/11\/Africa-Workshop-Newsletter-April-2017.pdf\">Africa Workshops Newsletter &#8211; April 2017<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Africa Workshops Alumni e-Newsletter was a biannual publication co-edited by alumni fellows.
