Hans Zell and the Jesuit Historical Institute in Africa: a shared mission

The Jesuit Historical Institute in Africa (JHIA) aspires to deepen the understanding of the history and mission of the Jesuits on the African continent by enhancing local cultural and spiritual heritage. It aims to promote rigorous research that sheds light on the interactions between the Jesuit tradition, religions and other African socio-cultural dynamics. Through its work, the Institute seeks to inspire a new generation of researchers and actors committed to promoting Jesuit studies, justice, education and intercultural dialogue in Africa and Madagascar.
