The ASCL’s research programme ‘African Trajectories: Past Dependencies and New Directions (2025–2029)’ builds on its former programme Strident Africa, extending the recognition of Africa’s pivotal role in world affairs. In it, the ASCL draws on the rich heritage of its past research and makes use of its networks both within and outside of Leiden University (e.g. through the Leiden Africa Platform and the ASCL Community).
 

The research programme is thematically reflected in the ASCL Chairs, the Collaborative Research Groups and the ASCL research projects.
