The Ghana Studies Association (GSA) aims to expand knowledge of the diverse histories and cultures of Ghana by supporting and celebrating high quality academic research, thoughtful and engaged teaching, and committed public outreach among an interdisciplinary community of scholars within Ghana and around the world.
About the 2026 Kumasi Triennial Meeting
This year’s interdisciplinary gathering of local and international students and scholars of Ghana’s past and present will engage a wide range of issues related to the theme, “Ghana in Uncertain Times.” Between the last GSA Triennial Conference in Tamale and now, the country, and indeed the world, has experienced significant transformations with uncertain ramifications for government and the public alike. At the same time, Ghanaians have been conceptualizing and managing uncertainty for decades, if not centuries. The conference provides an opportunity for scholars of Ghana to wrestle with uncertainties past and present, and to suggest how Ghana and Ghanaians chart paths through the uncertainties of the future.
