New initiative gives promising early career researchers the time and space to work at Carleton University

The Institute of African Studies at Carleton University is celebrating the long-awaited start of a new research acceleration project aimed at supporting West African women in academia.

The project — titled Wurin ta na yin rubutu, which translates from Hausa to “her own room to write” — seeks to counter the institutional prejudice and cultural barriers that many women face when completing their doctoral degrees and pursuing early career advancement as scholars.
