Virtual Seminar
The French-speaking LACET Virtual Seminar is a space for the development of social sciences and the humanities, particulary to promote a comparative, engaged and transnational anthropology in Africa or in relation to African questions. It is open to LACET members as well as to other researchers and students interested in the seminar. The seminar is a set up with video conference between three class-rooms (Uppsala, Ouagadougou, and Bamako). It is furthermore supported by a web-based platform for pedagogical development.
