Zulu is Professor of Geography, Environment, and Spatial Sciences and Director of\nthe African Studies Center at Michigan State University. A human-environment geographer, his\nresearch focuses on energy transitions, environmental governance, climate adaptation, and\nsustainable development in Africa. Drawing on more than 30 years of international research and\npolicy engagement, he examines how communities navigate environmental change and how\nevidence-based policies can advance equitable and sustainable futures\n\nAbstract\nAs the world races toward decarbonization, Africa is often portrayed as a region still waiting to\ncomplete its energy transition. This lecture challenges that narrative. Drawing on research\nacross energy, environment, and development in Southern Africa, I argue that Africa is not\nmerely a site of future energy transitions but a critical laboratory for understanding them. From\ncharcoal economies and household energy choices to forest restoration and emerging carbon\nmarkets, African experiences reveal that transitions are shaped as much by governance,\ninequality, and historical legacies as by technology. The central argument is that climate policies\ngrounded in narrow assumptions about modernization risk overlooking the realities that drive\nenergy behavior and environmental outcomes. By examining how communities navigate energy\nscarcity, environmental change, and climate interventions, the lecture highlights the need for\njust, context-sensitive transitions that advance both human well-being and planetary\nsustainability. Africa's experience offers lessons not only for the continent, but for the global\npursuit of equitable climate futures.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"154626-21918064@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/154626", "building_id":"1000175", "building_name":"Haven Hall", "campus_maps_id":"542", "room":"4701 Haven Hall (DAAS Conference Room)", "location_name":"Haven Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["africa","african and afroamerican studies","african diaspora","climate","Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering","Climate Change"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Afroamerican and African Studies", "group_id":"1144", "website":"http:\/\/www.lsa.umich.edu\/daas\/" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/11\/event_154626_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/11\/event_154626_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/11\/event_154626_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/11\/event_154626_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/11\/event_154626_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/11\/event_154626_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/11\/event_154626_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/11\/event_154626_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/11\/event_154626_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/11\/event_154626_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/11\/event_154626_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/11\/event_154626_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/11\/event_154626_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/11\/event_154626_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/11\/event_154626_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/11\/event_154626_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21918064 } , "154155-21917301": { "datetime_modified":"20261028T093651", "datetime_start":"20261116T170000", "datetime_end":"20261116T190000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-11-16", "date_end":"2026-11-16", "time_start":"17:00:00", "time_end":"19:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"In Our Own Words: The Stories That Shape Us", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"In Our Own Words: The Stories That Shape Us: An LCE Student Storytelling Event", "event_subtitle":"An LCE Student Storytelling Event", "event_type":"Workshop \/ Seminar", "event_type_id":"21", "description":"Every story shapes who we are and how we connect with others.

The DAAS Faculty Forum will be held monthly on Wednesdays at noon.\n\nOctober 21: Justine Davis, Assistant Professor of Afroamerican and African Studies; Assistant Professor of Political Science \nDual Citizenship & Dueling Loyalties: Perceptions of Politicians from the Diaspora\n\nAbstract:\n\nHow do citizens perceive and respond to dual citizenship and diaspora policies, particularly pertaining to politicians who have ties to multiple countries? This project entails a multi-country survey and experimental design in C\u00f4te d'Ivoire and Liberia on public opinion about dual citizenship. Given the growing political and economic influence of the African diaspora, the rights and roles of dual citizens have become increasingly contentious. Using a descriptive survey and a conjoint experiment, we explore when and why citizens support dual citizenship, how they respond to diaspora politicians, and how they view the role dual citizens and the broader diaspora play in the economic and democratic development of their countries.\n\nBio:\n\n\u200bI am an assistant professor jointly appointed in the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS) and the Political Science Department at the University of Michigan. Prior to this position, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Michigan and a UC Presidential Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of California, San Diego. I received my Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of California, Berkeley. \n\nI study comparative politics and political behavior, focusing on sub-Saharan Africa. In particular, I am interested in the challenges of democratization efforts in post-conflict settings and weakly institutionalized democracies.\n\nMy book, No Neutral Ground, forthcoming with Cambridge University Press, examines the role of non-governmental organizations in fostering democracy after civil war.\n\nMy research has been supported by the Carnegie Corporation; the National Science Foundation; the West Africa Research Association; the Human Rights Center at UC Berkeley; and the Center for African Studies, the Peder Sather Center for Advanced Study, and the Institute for International Studies at UC Berkeley. My work has been featured on the Washington Post\u2019s Monkey Cage and published or forthcoming in African Affairs, Comparative Political Studies, Journal of Conflict Resolution, Journal of Politics, Party Politics, Political Behavior, and PS: Political Science & Politics.\n\n At the University of Michigan, I am an associate at the African Studies Center and a faculty associate at the Center for Political Studies. I am a member of Evidence and Governance in Politics, a research associate at the Center on the Politics of Development, a co-coordinator of the Midwest Workshop in Empirical Political Science, a Ford Foundation Pre-Doctoral Fellow, and an APSA Diversity Fellow. I was also part of the 2023 Inaugural Class for The Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences (CASBS), Summer Institute on Diversity Science, at Stanford University. \n\nPrior to obtaining my Ph.D., I completed a Fulbright-Clinton Public Policy Fellowship in C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire. I hold a dual-language Master's degree in International Affairs, Conflict Resolution and Civil Society Development from the American University of Paris and the Universit\u00e9 de Paris 1 Panth\u00e9on-Sorbonne. Originally from North Carolina, I graduated from Elon University with a Bachelor's degree in International Studies, African concentration.\n\nOverall, I have experience living and working in France, C\u00f4te d'Ivoire, Ghana, Senegal, and I have also conducted fieldwork in Zambia and Benin. \n\nZoom link: \nhttps:\/\/umich.zoom.us\/j\/96271791304\n\nNovember 18: Martin Murray, Adjunct Professor of Afroamerican and African Studies; Professor of Urban and Regional Planning, Alfred Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"151690-21911971@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/151690", "building_id":"1000175", "building_name":"Haven Hall", "campus_maps_id":"542", "room":"4701", "location_name":"Haven Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["AEM Featured","african and african american studies","african and afroamerican studies","African Diaspora","African Language","African Studies"], "website":"http:\/\/www.lsa.umich.edu\/daas\/", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Afroamerican and African Studies", "group_id":"1144", "website":"http:\/\/www.lsa.umich.edu\/daas\/" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_151690_original-1.png", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/crop-event_151690_original-1.png", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/crop-event_151690_original-1.png", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/crop-event_151690_original-1.png", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/crop-event_151690_original-1.png", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/crop-event_151690_original-1.png", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/crop-event_151690_original-1.png", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/crop-event_151690_original-1.png", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/crop-event_151690_original-1.png", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/crop-event_151690_original-1.png", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/crop-event_151690_original-1.png", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/crop-event_151690_original-1.png", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/crop-event_151690_original-1.png", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/crop-event_151690_original-1.png", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/crop-event_151690_original-1.png", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/crop-event_151690_original-1.png" }, "occurrence_count":3, "first_occurrence":21911968 } , "150292-21908979": { "datetime_modified":"20260817T093853", "datetime_start":"20261204T110000", "datetime_end":"20261204T120000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-12-04", "date_end":"2026-12-04", "time_start":"11:00:00", "time_end":"12:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Study Abroad Info Session: GCC Brazil -
