During summer 2025, Lauren Taylor will be one of twelve Pitt faculty, academic administrators, and doctoral students to participate in a one-month Fulbright-Hays group project in Senegal. This initiative works to build trans-disciplinary, trans-national partnerships facilitating research between US and Senegalese scholars. Led by co-directors Pernille Røge and Kayien Conner, this group project represents one dimension of Pitt's deepening commitments to Senegalese studies, as the University strengthens its partnership with the West African Research Center and offers Wolof language courses for the first time.
