A FOCUS ON AFRICA AND ITS DIASPORA
The Center for Studies on Africa and Its Diaspora is an academic research center focused on increasing worldwide understanding of people from Africa and the African diaspora and their ongoing contributions to the world. We think of Africa and its diaspora as Africa Everywhere. CSAD brings together public and private sector scholars, thinkers and innovators with a shared purpose of addressing critical issues affecting Africa and its diaspora and finding solutions to build a more equitable, just and principled society.
