It is with deep sorrow that the faculty, staff and students of The Africa Institute of Global Studies University share the news of the passing of our dear colleague Professor Elizabeth Wolde Giorgis, who passed away in the early hours of March 16, 2025 in Sharjah, UAE.
Professor Giorgis was an integral part of The Africa Institute from its very inception, contributing immensely to its formation and the development of its curriculum, leading up to the eventual licensing of the Global Studies University, and the accreditation of its graduate program. Her dedication and unwavering commitment helped shape the foundation for where we are today.
As we mourn such tremendous loss, let us also take a moment to honor and celebrate her life’s work, and critical contributions to the field of African and African Diaspora studies, and more specifically to the field of history of art and visual studies.
