Africa at Noon with Allen Isaacman

The 1960's were a critical moment in the study of African History. It was also a time when a community of scholars in African Studies helped to push the boundaries of knowledge in new and important ways. I will explore the production of knowledge at that moment and how my training at the University of Wisconsin shaped my intellectual formation as a scholar, teacher and program director of the MacArthur Foundation-funded Interdisciplinary Center for the Study of Global Change.
