Africana Journal Club

AJC is made up of a community of African researchers, both emerging and experienced. Our members include postgraduate students, lecturers, independent researchers, consultants, and anyone who enjoys telling stories while utilizing various research methodologies. The aim of AJC is to draw African researchers and professionals to nurture research skills, critical appraisal, enhance subject matter expertise, foster networks and collaborations through a peer-to-peer mentoring model. We work with volunteers from the club to run the peer mentorship programs.

At AJC , we deliver peer mentoring while embracing the spirit of inclusion, multidisciplinary approach to research, open sharing, ethical research practice, ubuntu, and volunteerism. Some of the activities include: research webinars , critically appraising research papers collaboratively, shut up and write sessions, sharing research opportunities, individual mentorship calls and mock defenee sessions and research Q &A sessions. Our goal is to support members with skills to work on their research projects and not to do the research project for them.
