The West African Research Center sponsors international colloquia, research programs, and round tables on published research, lectures and workshops by visiting and local scholars and writers. WARC has administered an annual short-term research fellowship competition for scholars from West Africa to travel to U.S. host universities, assisted US-based scholars conducting research in Senegal and West Africa, sponsored internships for graduate students, and served as the host institution for individual and group projects of US-based students and Faculties. Below is a sampling of recent WARC activity.
