The African Studies Program's Sandwich Seminar has been held on Wednesdays at noon since 1971. Its purpose is to bring Africa research in any discipline, whether finished or continuing, to an audience of faculty, staff, students, and the community in a relaxed setting on a regular basis. Speakers are invited from the UW faculty and staff, from the faculties of colleges and universities around the world, and occasionally from among our graduate students, independent scholars, and persons working in government, foundations, charitable organizations, and the private sector.
