Our African Studies Association panel continues this week with a case study on democracy in Tunisia from Cornell University’s Alexandra Blackman. You’ll hear her presentation on current events in Tunisia and a news wrap from Kim and Rachel on elections in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and a recent news story on a valuable mask from Gabon.
This is our final episode of 2023! We’ll be back in your feed in the new year.
