Repositioning Africa’s Place in the Classroom: Knowledge, Communication, and Innovation

All higher education instructors are cordially invited to attend the annual Repositioning Africa’s Place in the Classroom: Knowledge, Communication, and Innovation (RAPC), a virtual teaching & learning conference.  The 2025 RAPC will take place on Friday, June 6th, from 9:45 am-3 pm. Instructors across disciplines are invited to this day-long workshop to gain frames and strategies to engage their students with Africa’s central role in a rapidly changing global context. Community college educators are especially encouraged to attend.

Presentations will highlight the importance of creative knowledge production, the use of alternative media to speak back to dominant perspectives, inventive ways to rewrite Africa’s rich history of freedom and resistance, and the innovative contributions of African youth in reshaping the world. The themes addressed will reposition Africa in a dynamic classroom where student learning is transformed. Each session will provide practical tips to empower instructors to bring African perspectives and resources to their own disciplinary teaching.

Free and open to the public. Registration is required.
