The AFJ/Cobb Family Lecture Series was established by the Cobb Family Foundation to provide a public forum for a talented UWI researcher - selected by his peers - to present academic findings on an important topic relating to Jamaica's future.

The Lecture Series is organized by the American Friends of Jamaica, Jamaica Fulbright-Humphrey Alumni Association, and the Deputy Principal’s Office at UWI with assistance from the United States Embassy’s Public Affairs Section.
