In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Institute of African Studies of the University of Ibadan, IFRA-Nigeria holds a three-day international conference on the following topic:
Patrimony, Memory and Identity in West Africa
For some times, the concept of patrimony, interpreted in a variety of subfields within the Social Sciences and the Humanities, has occupied a significant place in research programs on Africa. The making of patrimonies and the way they interact with the present – the process of patrimonialisation – studied in a time-sensitive perspective, may provide alternative understanding of contemporary Africa.
