               H-AfrTeach MISSION STATEMENT

H-AfrTeach is devoted to encouraging teaching about the African
continent at all educational levels.  Its purpose is to provide
outreach services to teachers and to promote discussion and
dialog among educators.  

H-AfrTeach is a part of the H-AFRICA Network of the H-Net
(Social Studies & Humanities-on-Line) family of electronic
networks hosted by Michigan State University. H-AfrTeach is
co-sponsored by the African Studies Center of Michigan State
University, with additional support from the African Studies
Center of Boston University. 

The two focal points of H-AfrTeach activites are a World Wide
Web homepage <http://h-net.msu.edu/~afrteach> devoted to a wide
variety of resources for use in teaching about Africa, and an
edited internet discussion list <H-AfrTeach@h-net.msu.edu> open
to those with an interest in teaching about the continent.
H-AfrTeach services and discussions are provided without
charge.

H-AfrTeach welcomes basic questions concerning teaching about
Africa.  In addition, H-AfrTeach information services and topics
for consideration are diverse, including (but not limited to)
syllabi and course materials, bibliographies, listings of new
teaching resoucres, library resource information, and reviews of
books, films and video, as well as software, datasets, CD-ROMs,
and other electronic information relevant to the study of
Africa.
