The Official Hub and Platform for the Oxford African Student.
Welcome to the AfriSoc Blog! This platform is dedicated to celebrating the incredible achievements of our scholars and alumni while providing a space to amplify all African voices, perspectives, and stories.
The AfriSights magazine contributes to the growing body of literature and media that reframe the African narrative through an Africanist perspective. The blog will replicate this theme by sharing and exploring the opinions and stories of Oxford students and other Africanists in the United Kingdom. By delving into educational ambitions, cultural dynamics, arts, and politics, it aims to foster a vibrant community of writers while documenting the ongoing work and impact of Oxford Africa events. Additionally, the blog will also highlight the achievements, resolutions, and contestations of Oxford Africa’s vast number of events throughout the year.
What We Intend To Highlight:
Event Coverage and Reflection: Analysing events and their contributions to African experiences at Oxford.
Engagement with African Art and Media: Highlighting and critiquing African art, film, poetry, and literature.
Student Success Stories: Celebrating achievements of students, alumni, and Africanists.
Personal Narratives: Sharing the stories of navigating Oxford and beyond, including challenges and victories.
Why Oxford?: Exploring the motivations and experiences of students who chose Oxford.
Student Reactions to Global News: Providing a platform for opinions on political and cultural developments worldwide.
