Wilfrid Laurier University’s Tshepo Institute for the Study of Contemporary Africa, in partnership with the Centre for Student Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, will present an International Women’s Day panel discussion focusing on African women in Canadian academia. The panel will feature five Ontario professors who emigrated from Africa and completed their PhDs and postdoctoral studies in Canada. The event is the first in the Tshepo Institute’s new African Leadership Lecture Series, which showcases and celebrates rising African leaders both on the African continent and in the diaspora. nspiring the Next Generation celebrated the accomplishments of Black African women scholars and explored important topics, including the underrepresentation of Black African women in academia; the discrimination Black African women experience in universities and academic publications; and the similarities and differences between the stories of Black African women and Black women born in Canada.
