Title A name given to the resource Namibian and Southern African Studies in Basel: A case for an intellectual project Description An account of the resource "In this essay we are not so much concerned with the reasons for the establishment of African Studies and African history at the University of Basel; these have been spelled out elsewhere. Nor do we need to plea for an engagement with Africa given the fact that the university currently boasts some 150 Africa-related research projects and can count on stable numbers of interested students. Here, we want to review critically the possibilities and limitations of working on Africa as historians, and social and human scientists, located in Basel. The primary current challenges for African Studies at the University of Basel are not necessarily of an institutional nature. Rather, they relate to intellectual, and as such conceptual, challenges of a young discipline which needs to reflect on its subject matter, not least due to recent trends which favour Global Studies. Based on our own experiences and disciplines, we focus on Namibian and Southern African Studies in order to make a case for African Studies as an intellectual project."
