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.
