Second Out of (and Into) Africa Conference

Alumni Highlights: Interview with Darryl L. Jones II

We interviewed our alumnus, Darryl L. Jones II, regarding his Ph.D. education and language training at Howard. Darryl is a proud Ph.D. graduate of Howard University's Department of African Studies and Research and the historic class of 2020.  At Howard, his academic research explored the nexus of climate change, environmental degradation, and human security – specifically that of descent-based slavery and issues of terrorism – in Mauritania, under the direction of Dr. Alem Hailu.
