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.
