This series of podcasts explores the question of adolescence in African contexts, as part of the ongoing work of the five-year UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) Accelerate Hub, hosted by Oxford University and the University of Cape Town. The podcasts were recorded during a three-day workshop on the theme of Understanding Adolescence in African Contexts, hosted at Rhodes House in Oxford. These podcasts are part of the innovation strand of the Hub's work, which will co-ordinate further workshops over the coming years, seeking to challenge and extend the ideas that underpin research on adolescence in Africa.
