In a public discussion with young bloggers, students, and activists from
Africa, IPS Associate Fellow and AU Professor Carl LeVan will ask, is there
a generation gap in Africa today?
*Please join IPS Associate Fellow and American University Professor Carl
LeVan for a roundtable discussion on diaspora democracy. Is the real
significance of the so-called ‘youth bulge’ an emerging generation gap
between citizens and leaders? How do young people confront negative
stereotypes of Africa in the US, while also challenging hard political
realities back home?*
*The dialogue will include Jumoke Balogun, a Nigerian-American blogger and
public relations expert in the labor movement, Mame-Khady Diouf, a
Senegalese intellectual from the Woodrow Wilson Center, Kizito Byenkya from
the Open Society Institute and co-publisher of Compareafrique.com, Michael
Appau, a Ghanaian student at Georgetown University, and Estelle Bougna
Fomeju, a Cameroonian student at Sciences Po in Paris.*
