Launch of The Project On: “Archiving, Memory and Method from The Global South”

The College of Humanities and Social Sciences received funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation for the project entitled: “Archiving, Memory and Method from the Global South.” The project seeks to centre debates in archiving, memory and method in Humanities and Humanistic Social Sciences research at Makerere University. It is a capacity building initiative that will fund research by Makerere University scholars (both faculty and students) to study formal and non-formal archival repository institutions as well as community archiving. The research outputs are expected to enhance the teaching and learning in the humanities through revision of curricula, pedagogy and methodology in archival studies and research.

 

The purpose of this letter is to invite you to the Project Launch (blended event), which will take place at Makerere University on Thursday, November 18, 2021, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Central Teaching Facility II (CTF2 Auditorium). A zoom link https://bit.ly/3kAHLkK.
