Conferencia del profesor Olukoju: Puertos africanos y desarrollo, una perspectiva histórica

Within the framework of the Fifth International Colloquium on the Governance of the Atlantic Ports (14th - 21st centuries), which will take place at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC) from 30 November to 2 December 2017, Casa África is hosting a presentation by Professor Ayodeji Olukoju, the most renowned African academic on African Economic History, and a specialist in the History of the Gulf of Guinea.

The International Research Group “The Governance of the Atlantic Ports. 14th - 21st centuries” aims to develop a comparative analysis of the historical dynamics of the Atlantic ports over time, investigating phenomena such as linkages, transfers and consolidations of port models on both sides of the Atlantic.

In order to share this research and gain new perspectives and data, this group is running several meetings during the year, including this event being held by the ULPGC.

Ayodeji Olukoju, invited by Casa África to participate in this colloquium, is a professor at the University of Lagos, Nigeria. He was made a member of the Nigerian Academy of Letters in 2011. He was Rector at the University of Caleb from 2010 to 2016 and is the author of more than 100 publications on Nigerian history, addressing maritime, social, economic and urban issues. He has received postdoctoral research grants from the Japan Foundation, the British Academy, Henry Charles Chapman, the Leventis Foundation, the Institute of Developing Economies (Tokyo) and DAAD.

He is a member of the Consultative Council of the network for the construction of African peace (based in New York) and is the first African to be part of the Executive Committee of the International Association of Maritime Economic History. He has been a consultant for UNESCO, the Ford Foundation for Tropical Research, the Science Foundation of Israel and the National Council of Nigeria’s Merit Awards Board.
