Since 2014, she has been Assistant Coordinator of the General History of Senegal project. Rokhaya Fall’s research has focused on early political history, including ethnic minorities in the ancient kingdoms of northern Senegambia, as well as on issues of settlement and power systems. The study of women in their socio-political environment represents another aspect of her research, as well as issues related to the slave trade and slavery. This has also led to focus on global history and broader research perspectives, including issues of space and identity.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
