Abdoulaye Kane associate Professor of Anthropology and African Studies at the University of Florida. He earned his Ph.D. in Anthropology in 2001 from the University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Dr. Kane specializes in international migration and transnationalism with an emphasis on Africa and more specifically the Sahel region (Senegal, Mauritania, and Mali). He is currently working on a book manuscript exploring transnational religious circuits connecting Senegalese Sufi Orders to their followers in Europe via North Africa (Morocco). At the center of his explorations is the experience of Senegalese Tijani religious leaders and their followers in building annual travelling circuits and religious events reinforcing religious practices and belonging in a global context. Dr. Kane teaches courses on Transnationalism, International Migration, Global Connections, Africans Abroad, and Anthropology of Modern Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
