Thought-leadership and more

PARC, together with partners, undertakes conceptual, theoretical and empirical analyses to:

• Better understand the multiple layers of power imbalances in the production of scientific knowledge that disadvantage the continent and constrain global scholarship.
• Develop rationales and directions for transformative collaborations and wider change to redress the imbalances.

Our main activity in this area is the Africa Charter.
