International Studies Group
The International Studies Group (ISG) comprises PhD students, postdoctoral fellows, and visiting academics with an active research interest in the histories of Central and Southern Africa in particular, and African and global history more generally.
The ISG hosts the respected Stanley Trapido seminar series.
