Directories
The Africa Desk is built around a series of five directories, designed to map the work and interests of people and places which form the Africanist community in the UK, including the many African scholars who maintain research links with UK departments or collaborate with UK academics. In addition to a new directory of African scholars maintaining links with the UK, it hosts the latest editions of the ASAUK Directory of Africanists in Britain, and the SCOLMA Directory of libraries and special collections on Africa. Two further directories cover Africanist journals in the UK, and specialist centres of Africanist research and postgraduate study.
The directories can be searched individually by using the menu to the left. Alternatively the entire set of directories can be searched together using the search box below.
We are keen that the Africa Desk grows to become a useful and central hub of information on Africanist research carried out in the UK, and helps to encourage and facilitate future collaboration by allowing scholars to identify colleagues sharing similar research interests.
