Professor Akosua Adomako Ampofo to speak at University of Cambridge

Eminent Ghanaian lecturer and activist, Professor Akosua Adomako Ampofo has been invited by the University of Cambridge in England to serve as a keynote speaker at two public lecture events this May.

The renowned academician will first make an appearance at this year’s “The Audrey Richards Distinguished Public Lecture in Africa Studies” slated for Thursday, May 2 at the Faculty of Law, University of Cambridge.

Under the theme which is culled from the titles of two music volumes by Mr. Eazi, “Accra to Lagos; Lagos to London””: African Engagements with the Higher Education industry”, this lecture looks at how Africans are engaging with higher education, what conversations they bring to the table, what form they take and what they destabilise or even transform both on campuses and the larger “industry” – in teaching and research, publishing, international collaborations, funding and so forth.
