We host this again.

Over the years, our brothers and sisters in the diaspora responded to our call to help us solve drinking water problems in our communities. Greater number of boreholes have been made available for people in the communities to access portable drinking water. We mark this significant help with a celebration each year to thank our cousins in the diaspora and to continuously ask for support to bring relieve to our families in the surrounding communities.
You are invited to join celebrate this.
Please contact us for donations and support to our communities.
Thank you .

Join the Department of Anthropology for a talk by Emmanuel Saboro, PhD from the University of Cape Coast, Ghana entitled 'Critical Reflections of the Slave Trade in Ghana: The Hidden and Lost Stories that Spaces and Places Tell' on September 26, 2024 at 3:30 PM in Davenport Hall Room 230.

Emmanuel Saboro, (Ph.D.) is an Associate Professor in Trans disciplinary Studies: African Literature, Cultural Memory and Slavery Studies and Director of the Centre for African and International Studies in the College of Humanities and Legal Studies at the University of Cape Coast, Ghana.

Abstract: My aim is to call for a reading of the hidden and lost stories of key historical and cultural sites and spaces connected to the slave experience in Ghana beyond their structural representations. I aim to reflect on these sites as ritual and symbolic spaces that can speak and be understood through the invocation of metaphor. The central animating principle in the discussions that I will build upon later on, is premised on these questions: If these sites and spaces could speak, what stories will they generate or tell us? What voices would we hear buried under these sites and spaces? How may we encode the silences within these spaces?
