Fallou Ngom is an Affiliate Faculty Member of the Boston University Global Development Policy Center and a Professor of Anthropology at Boston University. His research interests include the interactions between African languages and non-African languages, the adaptations of Islam in Africa and Ajami literatures—records of African languages written in Arabic script. He seeks to understand the knowledge buried in African Ajami literatures and the historical, social, cultural and religious heritage that has found expression in this manner.
