About the Conference
Africa & its diaspora at a pivotal global moment
This graduate student-led conference, co-organised by DAGPSA and the Business in Africa Club at Fuqua, explores how African and diaspora leaders across business, policy, culture, and academia are navigating a rapidly shifting global order.
In an era defined by geopolitical fragmentation, DEI rollbacks, migration crises, and disrupted trade systems, Africa and its global diaspora face both uncertainty and opportunity.
