Call for Papers: SERSAS Conference Announcement, 02/04
The Southeast Regional Seminar on African Studies (SERSAS)
invites Africanists of all disciplines to submit proposals
for papers to be presented at the spring meeting to be held
on Friday-Saturday, March 26-27, 2004, at the College of
Charleston, Charleston, South Carolina, U.S.A.
SERSAS is a semi-formal, multi-disciplinary association of
college and university faculty and staff members,
independent scholars, practitioners, and graduate students
residing on the eastern seaboard between Washington, D.C.,
and Florida, and as far west as Georgia and Tennessee, and
beyond. The State University of West Georgia, Northern
Kentucky University, Clemson University, among others, have
hosted recent meetings, with some participants attending
from other parts of the U.S.A. and overseas. SERSAS panels
and presentations have addressed topics such as justice and
law reform, land tenure system, pilgrimage and conversion,
Islam and the state, environmental history, democratization,
and reparations.
If you are interested in presenting a paper, please send a
one-page abstract via email to any of the coordinators
(listed below) no later than February 20, 2004. SERSAS also
invites scholars to submit proposals for shorter, less
formal presentations of work-in-progress. These might be
early reports on recent fieldwork or drafts of articles or
chapters. Descriptions of work-in-progress presentations
must be submitted to any of the coordinators by the February
20, 2004.
