The 41st African Studies Association of Australasia and the Pacific (AFSAAP) Conference was held in November 2018 at the University of New South Wales in Sydney. In this show, we hear a presentation from the conference by Rene Sephton, a PhD candidate within the School of Global Urban and Social Studies at RMIT University.  This presentation looks at the concept or philosophy of Búmùntù from the perspective of the Luba people from the Democratic Republic of Congo.
