The Southeast Regional Seminar on African Studies Conference,
04/05
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, April
15-16, 2005 at Norfolk State University, Norfolk, 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 University of North Carolina at Charlotte,
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, reparations, and
health issues in Africa.
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, 2005. 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, 2005.
