Africa (various)

Through the Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa (CODESRIA). I may co-teach a week-long course for African PhD scholars. This course happens in a different country each year. We were in Nairobi, Kenya in 2006. In 2007 the course was at Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda, but for various reasons I was not there. For more information about these workshops, click here.

Other Locations

Workshops can be arranged anywhere in Europe (and sometimes beyond). Longer courses for small groups of PhD students and/or corporate researchers creating conference papers, articles and documents can be arranged, especially in summer. If you would like a workshop or a course at your organization, ask your Human Resources manager to contact me.
