The African Studies Committee is an informal group of students, staff, and faculty at Western Oregon University who are interested in Africa and African Studies. The committee encourages teaching and scholarship on Africa, with the goal of educating the campus and local community about Africa. The committee provides information about resources at Western Oregon University, including faculty and staff members with expertise in African studies, study abroad programs, internships, course offerings, and films. The committee also seeks funding to expand African studies resources and organizes campus and local community events pertaining to Africa. In addition, the committee supports faculty and student research on Africa and facilitates dissemination of research through the regularly held lectures and seminars.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=”Members” _builder_version=”4.6.5″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Isidore Lobnibe, Associate Professor of Anthropology<\/span><\/p>\n Vivian Djokotoe, Professor of Criminal Justice<\/span><\/p>\n Robin Smith, Professor of Anthropology<\/span><\/p>\n Kit Andrews, Professor of English<\/span><\/p>\n Diane Baxter, Professor of Music<\/span><\/p>\n Nicole Engel Allen, Student<\/span><\/p>\n Wangeci \u201cMargaret\u201d Gatimu, Associate Professor of Education<\/span><\/p>\n Ligali Harruna, Student<\/span><\/p>\n Gwenda Rice, Professor of Education Emeritus<\/span><\/p>\n Narasingha \u201cRam\u201d Sil, Professor of History Emeritus<\/span><\/p>\n Darryl Thomas, Associate Professor of Dance<\/span><\/p>\n Courtney Doss, Student<\/span><\/p>\n Jaime Lopez Pinedo, Student<\/span><\/p>\n Kristel Skaltelstad, Student<\/span><\/p>\n Sarah G, Student<\/span><\/p>\n Emily Plec, Professor of Communication Studies<\/span><\/p>\n Elisa Maroney, Professor of Special Education<\/span><\/p>\n Conner M Rapkoch, Student<\/span><\/p>\n Mariah Perryman, Student If you want to join the African Studies Committee, send an email to Isidore Lobnibe at\u00a0<\/span>lobnibei@wou.edu<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=”Research” _builder_version=”4.6.5″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Conner M Rapkoch completed an IE3 Global Internship in South Africa last spring.
