Understanding existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language is a quest that deepens with the introduction of new philosophical schemas and findings. Such studies have exhibited outstanding arguments, contradictions and above all; resulted in the definition of every known academic discipline. However, there are more underlying and new questions that need to be solved or answered.

APAS is geared towards the development and exposure of African philosophers who aim to present African views, ideas and themes, or philosophy that uses distinct African philosophical methods. While some are focused on defining the term African philosophy, others have picked up facets such as Epistemology, Metaphysics, Logic, Axiology and lots more.

Social anthropology is a branch of Anthropology which focuses on patterns of behaviour. Cultural anthropology is another branch that studies cultural meaning, including norms and values. Linguistic anthropology focuses on how language influences social life while physical anthropology looks out for the biological development of humans.

Africa is a fertile ground for Anthropological research as a lot of historic patterns are still in their original states and cultural practices have enjoyed continuous patronage among numerous societies within the continent. APAS scholars are dedicated to discovering and developing a sustainable approach for the use and preservation of these pure archives of knowledge.

APAS is a good resource centre for political scientists and other social science scholars, experts and third-party promoters. As a field of study that thrives more significantly within context, political science will always require other contextual research works to build up its knowledge base. Hence, APAS network of related context-based research and researchers are set to help.

Political science has grown so large to encompass numerous branches which include comparative politics, political economy, political theory, public administration, public policy, and political methodology. For better precisions, Political science draws-in international relations, economics, law, sociology, history, philosophy, geography, psychology, anthropology and lots more.

Education has an endless list of facets, branches or areas. This is because of its inter-disciplinary, regional and multi-level structure. The aim however, is to facilitate learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits at every level of human development. Education within the African context is a subject of interest for APAS and its members.

At its core, APAS research members are expected to straighten and carefully broaden the definition of Education in Africa, developing constructive and sustainable methodologies, systems and dynamic approaches for Education within the continent. A lot of work has been done by our scholars and recommendations have been made to aid progressive studies.

Visual, performing, literary arts and other branches of art are open for research to our members. Africa in itself, houses great works of art from ancient to current times, making the continent a rich location for art research and related works. APAS therefore, provides a meeting point for art scholars, promoters and artists whose resources are open for academic purposes.

Although there is a thin line between art-research and art-making, art-based research can still be considered to encompass artistic processes which could include the actual making of artistic expressions in the different forms art, experience studies, criticism of art, history of art, aesthetic studies, dissemination of art and lots more.

Although International Relations appears to be an inter-disciplinary subject, it however, clearly presents diplomacy, international security and human rights as core topics. The urgency that surrounds these topics have made international relations a thick point of attraction to scholars, activists, policy makers and experts from numerous sectors.

International relations as a subject is geographically-bound and will require context-based resources to attain optimal effectiveness. For the whole of Africa, APAS researchers and connected experts are open to provide rich resources that are focused on the continent’s concerns, trends and historic patterns. Existing research works can be accessed on our journals.

In terms of research, the study of religion is focused on religious beliefs, behaviors, and institutions. Africa is known for its diverse religiosity, hence, researchers look out to describe, compare, interpret, and explain religion, emphasizing systematic, historically based, and cross-cultural perspectives. APAS therefore, harnesses a knowledge base that gives deeper insights to religion in Africa.

Religious studies is interwoven with multiple disciplines and methodologies. In terms of knowledge output, it is required in International Relations, Psychology, Anthropology, Economics, Sociology and other disciplines. Religious studies also draw resources from a large number of social science subjects or disciplines. APAS members also embark on explanatory, supportive and theory-proof religious research.

Understanding the social behavior of an individual will require inputs from a professional psychology practitioner or researcher. While some researchers challenge the existing assumptions and theories in relation to psychology of people with African ancestors, some others have taken up the responsibility of defining and developing Africa based methodologies.

APAS researchers are focused on behavioural psychology which draws or include perception, cognition, attention, emotion, intelligence, subjective experiences, motivation and personality. This extends to interaction between people, such as interpersonal relationships, including psychological resilience, family resilience, and other areas.
