SIRAS OBJECTIVE:
The Southern Interdisciplinary Round table on African Studies (SIRAS) is an annual forum that brings together to KSU, scholars, KSU students, and professional from various disciplines and from institutions of higher learning across the country and abroad to celebrate the African heritage. The Roundtable seeks to fasten social, cultural, and historical links between peoples of African descent and exposes participants to the historical, social, political, artistic, and economic trends on the continent and in the diaspora. SIRAS also enables KSU students and participants to discuss past and present social, cultural, and political challenges confronting the continent and the diaspora, as well as those that lie ahead.
