The Greater New York Area African History Workshop offers both faculty and advanced graduate students, living and working in the New York area, an opportunity to present their research and works-in-progress. The workshop is designed to bring together scholars working on diverse historical topics to meet, exchange ideas and experiences, and facilitate future interaction and collaboration.

Those interested in presenting at the workshop should prepare a title and a one or two paragraph description of the presentation and submit it to Paul Ocobock (pocobock@princeton.edu). Proposals must be submitted no later than Sunday, 7th January. Please indicate in your proposal whether you will require any equipment such as LCD or overhead projectors. Accepted proposals will be organized into panels. Each speaker will be asked to limit his or her presentation to 15 minutes only, allowing time for discussion.

If you plan to attend the workshop but do not wish to present, please RSVP at your earliest convenience.

Princeton will provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner for all attendees. Participants will be asked to provide their own transportation and accommodation. Princeton is approximately 60 minutes from New York Penn Station via NJ Transit and Philadelphia 30th Street Station via SEPTA and NJ Transit.
