The Africa Institute has launched The Canada-Africa Young Scholars Coalition (CAYSC) whose membership will include undergraduate students, graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and other trainees of African heritage or identity from across Canada, as well as allies.
Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Scholars are invited to become members of the CAYSC.
This coalition will foster and promote collaborative, interdisciplinary scholarly approaches, as well as nurture mentorship and academic support for young African and Africanist scholars.
The Africa Institute Faculty and Staff will support and work with this Young Scholars Coalition on an ongoing basis. By becoming a member of CAYSC, you will:
- Partake in events, including networking opportunities.
- Become a part of wide community of scholars, both across Canada and Africa of various disciplines and career stages.
- Receive information for research funding, workshops, and other relevant capacity-building opportunities.
- Help to build the first Canadian coalition of young African scholars.
The Canada-Africa Young Scholars Coalition has volunteer and work study positions for three exciting projects: 1. The Bell 5G Project in Student Mental Health; 2. The CAYSC Forum; and 3. The Canada-Africa Alumni Network. You can learn more about these exciting positions HERE.
