Symposium on Africa Workshop Available Online
The participants from APSA's Workshop on Elections and Democracy in Accra, Ghana, during summer 2009 prepared an in-depth symposium on their experiences and research. View or download the symposium online at http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayJournal?jid=PSC (volume 43, issue 1) or by logging into your MyAPSA account (apsanet.org) and following the PS link.
The Accra workshop brought together 28 political scientists: 20 Africa-based participants from 10 different countries and four U.S.-based participants who were competitively selected last spring, in addition to the four workshop leaders (two U.S. based, two Africa based). This diverse group included six women and 22 men as well as scholars ranging in age from their twenties to their early fifties.
This workshop series is generously supported by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and is a key part of APSA efforts to support the development of applied research networks linking U.S.-based scholars with colleagues overseas and supporting political science communities outside the United States. n
