The purpose of the Congolese Studies Association (L’Association des Études Congolaises, or CSA-AEC), an independent professional society established in the United States, is to promote research, international cooperation, exchange of ideas, and meaningful dialogue on the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
We offer deepened analysis on the Congo, and seek to offer an informed and nuanced narrative that replaces the often distorted presentations of the Congo. We also support expansion of teaching on Congo in American universities, as part of broader support for the field of African Studies.
L’objectif du Congolese Studies Association–L’Association des Etudes Congolaises, une organisation scientifique indépendante incorporée aux Etats-Unis, est de promouvoir la recherche, la coopération internationale, l’échange des idées, et le dialogue approfondi sur la République Démocratique du Congo.
