Fourth International Conference on Igbo Studies: A Tribute to Don
Ohadike
Venue: Howard University, Washington, DC, March 31 to April 1 2006
Theme: The Igbo and Its Diaspora: Interrogating Culture, History, and
Identity
The 4th International Conference on Igbo Studies highlights the central
role of culture in Igbo life, history and identity. In choosing this
theme we hope to foster contributions that explore the concept of Igbo
culture, history, and identity in varying and transforming ways. Papers
exploring various disciplinary and inter-disciplinary approaches are
particularly welcome. We also welcome contributions that examine the
formation and transformation of Igbo culture and identities at
individual, group, national, and transnational levels in Africa and the
Diaspora. Contributions should strengthen existing dialogue on Igbo
Studies. Submissions from graduate students and community activists are
welcome. The proceedings of the conference will be published in 2007.
Deadline for submissions: November 30, 2005
All proposals must contain: 1) a title page that includes the title of
the proposed paper along with the presenter's name, address, telephone
and fax numbers, and e-mail address if available; and 2) a 250 word
abstract.
