The Department established the International Lecture Series during the difficult days of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the goal of encouraging intellectual interchanges and worldwide dialogue. This series has evolved into an important platform for researchers, policymakers, and thought leaders from around the world to engage in conversations about critical issues affecting Africa and its connections with India and the global community. The series, which covers a wide range of themes from afrocentricism and humanitarian assistance to neoliberalism and refugee response mechanisms, continues to enrich the academic environment by providing new perspectives on historical and political issues. Through this project, the department has successfully transcended geographical obstacles, enabling ongoing learning and collaboration in the virtual world.
