Course Goals	Students can set up research subjects in African area studies, and present their results.
Schedule and Contents	Students will take in turns to give presentations on their ideas for research topics, the progress they are making in their research, and their findings. The class will then discuss the contents of their presentations, which it is hoped will deepen the understanding of the whole class on various areas in Africa. The order of presentation will be decided at the first seminar.
