Commonwealth Africa now reflects the diversity of Africa as a whole. Former Francophonic and Lusophonic colonies are now members alongside the Anglophonic ones. Within these countries are thousands of languages and cultures. But all cohere in a drive for education and an urge to make free choices. These converge.
Professor Dr Stephen Chan OBE
Stephen Chan has held honorary professorships in several African universities. The citation for his OBE was for 'Services to Higher Education and Africa'.
A former member of the Commonwealth Secretariat, he has published 37 academic books, many of them in-depth studies of African Commonwealth countries. He was Foundation Dean of Law & Social Sciences at SOAS University of London, where he continues as Professor of World Politics.
He has held named Chairs in Palestine and the Central European University in Budapest, witnessing at first hand the symmetry between academic freedom and political freedom.
