Reli02: Training for good life or a good society? Religious students’ individual and collective aspirations in public universities in sub-Saharan Africa

This panel discusses the ways in which university students engage with academic training and religious practice. It interrogates youth's individual and collective aspirations and how religiosity affects higher education in sub-Saharan Africa.

Econ22: Disrupting "modernity": Towards alternative bioeconomic futures in Africa

This panel discusses alternatives to the mainstream bioeconomy narrative. Its core idea -- an economy that respects environmental limits and provides enough resources for a fulfilling life -- contains space for a plurality of interpretations, which we seek to showcase with a view from Africa.
