African Studies Colloquium Series: Ebony Coletu

Ebony Coletu is a scholar and writer based in Philadelphia and Accra. She received her Ph.D. from Stanford University. As a Fulbright Scholar in Ghana she researched back-to-Africa initiatives led by Gold Coasters between 1898-1928. She also stages public memorials and conversations about little-known girls and women born in Ghana who died abroad in the name of a cause. Her current book project, Relentless Returns, chronicles a linked series of African invitations for diasporic return and investment in the early days of pan-Africanism.
