NYU Africa House

New York University Africa House is an interdisciplinary institute devoted to the study of contemporary Africa, focusing on economic, political, and social issues on the continent and programs in the Arts. An integral part of Africa House’s core mission is the advancement of the understanding of the links between Africa and the rest of the world within social, historical, and economic contexts, among others. To this end, we have fostered relationships with African immigrant communities in New York City. NYU has a large number of professors and students doing research in the areas of economic development, macroeconomics and economic growth, microfinance, politics, political economy, law, and legal institutions. Africa House regularly convenes high level talks and seminars, and has in the past featured African heads of state. Our programs take place in New York City and in various cities.
