The Program on African Social Research (https://www.pasiri.org/) The Program on African Social Research (PASR) was founded to center African knowledge production within social science research globally We do this by creating opportunities for junior scholars based in Africa. By providing access to international networks and building networks across the African continent, we work to help junior scholars improve and disseminate their research, and to create opportunities for mentoring and meaningful collaborative possibilities. PASR is supported by the Carnegie Corporation of New York. It is based at the Marxe School of Public and International Affairs, Baruch College, City University of New York. A special thanks to Michelle Woodward for her editorial assistance. African Social Research is an open access publication. Authors retain all rights to their contributions.
