• Comparative approaches to African and other cultures
• Technology use in Africa
• Impact of social media on life in Africa, especially in establishing connections between those in Africa and those on other continents
• Impact of (popular) culture on politics in Africa and politics of Africa in other places
• Approaches to tourism and/or urbanization and culture in Africa
• Film and/or literary analysis connecting Africa and popular works in other places
