SUNU Studies

Part library, part digital classroom, SUNU Studies, an educational supplement to SUNU Journal, serves as a means to decentralize + democratize education concerning Pan-African culture, politics, society, economy and art. SUNU Studies provides texts sourced from the public domain, and will continue to update with resources in order to build a comprehensive, working syllabus. In addition to making readings available, SUNU Studies will also provide audio-visual material. Translations of materials will be made if/wherever available.

SUNU Journal invites scholars + practitioners (independent or part of an institution) to serve as guest lecturers for SUNU Studies. We invite such persons to submit a recorded lecture (video and/or audio recording) on a theme/idea/text relevant to the values of SUNU Journal. More details on how to be a SUNU Studies guest lecturer, can be found here.
