Research Across Disciplines and African Realities
AfBridge Institute for Innovative Studies advances a research agenda concerned with questions that affect communities and institutions.
Across our four schools, we encourage careful inquiry, constructive debate and knowledge that contributes to scholarly understanding and practical decisions. Interdisciplinary research allows different fields to examine a shared question while retaining their intellectual responsibilities. Educational access, for example, can involve questions of finance, technology, wellbeing and social values. Bringing these perspectives into conversation can expose assumptions that a single field may overlook.
Our Research Priorities
These areas guide the development of our research community. Specific project pages identify the research question, contributors, methods and stage of work. A proposed interest is distinguished from an approved or completed project.
Association of AfBridge Scholars
A community for scholarly exchange across AfBridge's four schools.
Annual Academic Conference
Present papers, discuss evidence and engage questions across disciplines.
AfBridge Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies
A publication platform for scholarship across theology, business, technology, health and related fields.
Referencing Across Disciplines
Scholarly work in Theology uses the Harvard Colon Variant. Scholars working in Business, Technology, Health and other non-theological disciplines use APA 7. Authors should follow the relevant guidance when preparing conference papers and journal manuscripts. A paper's disciplinary classification determines its required style.
Projects, Publications and Collaboration
Explore the Institute's projects, publications and research opportunities. We welcome enquiries from scholars and institutions interested in shared questions. Collaboration should begin with a clear purpose, defined responsibilities and appropriate ethics arrangements.
A project record will show title, summary, contributors, school, status and any public outputs once projects are confirmed. Personal participant information and confidential research records do not appear on public pages. The applicable research ethics process will be stated once approved.
