Call for Abstracts

This edited volume, Global Education Futures: Reinforcing Policy, Partnerships, and Praxis across Africa and the Diaspora, seeks to explore how African and diasporic communities are actively shaping the future of global higher education. At a time of rising nationalism, shifting geopolitical alliances, and the rollback of international education under administrations such as Trump’s, this book centers Africa and its global diaspora as leaders—not subjects—of educational transformation.

The book will feature critical, forward-looking perspectives that examine education through the lenses of justice, equity, and collective agency. We invite contributions that highlight policy innovations, institutional collaborations, and culturally grounded practices that are expanding the horizons of African and Black global education.
