The Center for African Studies organizes the Let's Talk Africa series to bring together the Pitt learning community and beyond to talk about Africa-related matters. It is designed to be a platform for people to talk about their experiences studying about or in Africa, doing internships, conducting research, volunteering, working, and other learning activities in African Studies. Let's Talk Africa is a forum that allows students and members of the community to talk about Africa's achievements while also exploring challenges and policy solutions.
