"This course reshaped my understanding of what it truly means to learn. Rather than leaving with a sense of mastery, I found myself increasingly aware of how much there is still to know. At The Africa Institute, each lecture and discussion opens new intellectual horizons, challenging assumptions and deepening inquiry. The richness of the scholarship encourages humility, curiosity, and critical reflection in equal measure. It is an environment where knowledge is not about arriving at certainty, but about embracing the depth and complexity of the questions themselves."
