Summer School

Summer School

What is the Agrarian Summer School? – Walter Chambati explains (2019)

Aims & Scope

The SMAIAS-ASN Summer School is an annual event since 2009, organized by The Sam Moyo African Institute for Agrarian Studies and the Agrarian South Network. The Summer School is held at SMAIAS in Harare, Zimbabwe, and brings together young and veteran scholars and activists from Africa, Asia, and Latin America/Caribbean for a week-long plenary event. This is the main regular event of ASN since its inception, where new ideas are presented and debated and issues related to contemporary world affairs are discussed. The Summer School provides for a collective reflection on current research, theory, and politics, with a view to refine analytical capacities and contribute to collective learning. Every Summer School is guided by a specific theme, which often becomes a special issue in the journal in the subsequent year and later a South-South book publication. The Summer School is also the occasion for the annual Sam Moyo Memorial Lecture.
