About us



Welcome 

This network is an associate member of International Council for Canadian Studies (ICCS)    

The reorganization of the African Network for Canadian Studies marks a new era, focused on knowledge consolidation, inter-university cooperation, and highlighting Canadian studies in Africa.


Description of ANCS origin 

With a member making contact with the International Council Canadian Studies ICCS in 2022, it became clear that before this time ICCS had no presence in the Africa continent, thus the need to establishing this network. This became necessary to bridge the gap between Africa and the rest of the world in education and research in Canada. Africa Network for Canadian Studies ANCS is officially recognized as an associate member of the ICCS. It is our hope that the number of member will grow as various scholars come to appreciate the goal of the network.

                                                          

 Proposed activities

The network aims to undertake the following activities, which may be modified or extended according to circumstances, by the decision of the network.             

- The organization of an Annual Conference of the network and the encouragement and support of other conferences and seminars as approved by the network                         

-The publication of the Africa Journal of Canadian Studies and the encouragement and support of other publications reflecting the study of Canada in Africa.
