We are issuing a call to reviewers for Africa Knowledge Project Journals, and we want you!

We are looking for reviewers who place Africa at the center of its knowledge production. Given our focus on critically Africa-centered knowledge, we are happy to welcome reviewers along that same paradigm. We hope you will join us in doing this important work, in promoting African-led research to new frontiers in cyber space, and in creating a holistic space to support a new generation of scholars.
