Welcome to the website of APAD, the Euro-African Association for the Anthropology of Social Change and Development. APAD is a network promoting dialogue between African and European researchers in the social sciences as well as with developments agents. Initially devoted to the empirical studies of interactions brought about by development, APAD’s approach has evolved towards research regarding social change on the African continent in its broadest sense.

KOFFI BOBO
C'est
avec tristesse et douleur que nous venons d'apprendre le décès de notre
collègue et ami Samuel Koffi Bobo dans un accident de circulation en Côte
d'Ivoire alors qu'il s'apprêtait à prendre service comme enseignant-chercheur à
l'Université de Korhogo.
Jean-Pierre
Chauveau - ami, collègue et collaborateur de Samuel - souhaite dédier le Festschrift
que nous venons de lui offrir, Une
anthropologie entre pouvoirs et histoire: conversations autour de l'oeuvre de
Jean-Pierre Chaveau (2011, Karthala), à la mémoire de Samuel Koffi Bobo.
Samuel
Koffi Bobo a été un des jeunes APADiens dynamiques, toujours présent et engagé
lors de nos manifestations diverses de notre réseau, entre autres l'université
d'été du LASDEL (en octobre 2006), l'école doctorale en anthropologie du
changement social à Bruxelles (en avril 2009), la formation IFS/IRD/Université
d'Uppsala "Défier les vérités" (en septembre 2007), et, bien entendu,
le colloque de l'APAD "ENGAGER L'ANTHROPOLOGIE POUR LE DEVELOPPEMENT ET LE
CHANGEMENT SOCIAL" à Ouagadougou (en janvier 2010).
Au nom de l'APAD et en mon nom propre je présente
à la famille et aux amis et collègues de Samuel Koffi Bobo les condoléances les
plus attristées. Paix à son âme!

It is
with sadness and pain that we have been informed about the loss of our
colleague and friend Samuel Koffi Bobo in a traffic accident in Côte d'Ivoire
when he was preparing to take on a Lecturer position at the University of
Korhogo.
Samuel's
friend, colleague and collaborator, Jean-Pierre Chauveau wishes to dedicate the
book Une anthropologie entre pouvoirs et
histoire: conversations autour de l'oeuvre de Jean-Pierre Chaveau (2011,
Karthala) to the memory of Samuel Koffi Bobo.
Samuel
Koffi Bobo was one of the young dynamic APAD-members, always present and
committed at different meetings of our network, including the LASDEL Summer
University in October 2006, the Doctoral School in Brussels in April 2009, the
training course "Défier les vérités" in Ouagadougou in September
2007, and of course the APAD Conference "ENGAGING ANTHROPOLOGY FOR
DEVELOPMENT AND SOCIAL CHANGE" in Ouagadougou in January 2010.
On
behalf of APAD and myself I present our condolences to Samuel's family, friends
and colleagues. May he rest in peace!
