ASAUK 2008: The Presence of the Past? Africa in the Twenty-First Century

Dates: September 11-13, 2008
Abstract/proposal Deadline: December 31, 2008
Location: Preston, UK, United Kingdom

The ASAUK Conference always seeks to facilitate discussions between Africanist scholars who ordinarily would have few opportunities to talk, despite working on similar themes, either because they are working on different geographical areas or within different academic disciplines.

The conference aims to bring together Africanists from all over the world and from various disciplines to discuss the past and current developments in Africa and African Studies. The conference organisers would particularly welcome postgraduate presentations on their current or recently completed research. Papers are invited on all themes relating to the continent, inclusive of time, period and space parameters as well as interdisciplinary perspectives.

Proposals for panels of three papers, or abstracts for individual papers, of up to 250 words by 31 December 2007 to Emma Kelly: eakelly1@uclan.ac.uk or via the ASAUK website: www.asauk.net.
