I am delighted to be spending May in Paris as a "professeur invité" at the EHESS. My sincere thanks to Marie Miran and Mathieu Terrier for the invitation. I'll be giving four public lectures on my research on the history of Islam and Muslim societies in francophone West Africa since the 1960s

The edited volume "Religiosity on University Campuses in Africa: Trends and Experiences", which I co-edited with Abdoulaye Sounaye, is now in open access. You can download the full book in ZMO's institutional repository:

Koudbi Kaboré (Uni. Joseph Ki-Zerbo): Au #BurkinaFaso, la laïcité est étroitement liée à la gestion du pluralisme religieux par l'État. Bien qu’elles soient importantes, les pratiques traditionnelles et coutumières dans l’espace public sont souvent oubliées dans les analyses.

Rahmane Idrissa (@ASCLeiden) présente "Une brève histoire de la laïcité au #Niger".

@UFSahelResearch An international group of colleagues from @UF, Senegal, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso and Chad have gathered in Dakar to discuss and present on the topic

The @UFSahelResearch, Centre d'étude des religions of Université Gaston Berger in Senegal, and West African Research Center (WARC) are cosponsoring a panel on the topic today: “Les enjeux de la laïcité: regards croisés sur les débats sahéliens”

With my co-panelists Abdoulaye Sounaye and Adama Ousmanou on Religiosity on University campus earlier this morning @ECAS2019 #ECAS2019

J'aurai le plaisir de participer au panel "Religiosity on University Campus" organisé par Abdoulaye Sounaye @ECAS2019. Issouf Binaté et moi présenterons notre papier "L'islam en milieu universitaire en #CotedIvoire depuis 1970: «intellectuels musulmans» et #salafisme francophone"
