Titled: Language, Cultural Symbolism, and Values-The Case for an AfroScript

This presentation will be given by Phillip Keane, an international educator and linguist whose research interests into ancient African script led to the development of a proto-type African writing system called the AfroScript – a writing system which can be used to write almost any African language.
Phillip has worked in various parts of East Africa, Europe, the Middle East, as well as the Caribbean.

This session will be chaired by Professor Humphrey Ojwang’. Prof. Humphrey is a lecturer at the Institute of African Studies at the University of Nairobi.
