While I'm no longer in Oxford, the China Africa Research Network I began there in January 2008 is alive and well, despite a short hiatus in the autumn of 2008. To that end, for those of you still in Oxford or in and around the area, you may be interested in this upcoming event:
********************
The China-Africa Research Network is a group of students and professors interested in bringing issues of politics and development, related to China's involvement in Africa, to the forefront. In the last year, we hosted events on China's oil investments, aid and political relationship with Africa.
We will be holding a meeting this Friday, at 4pm in the SSL lounge, to discuss a day conference in Trinity term and plans for the following year. We're interested in recruiting new members to the group - so please do come and check it out!
