| UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA - AFRICAN STUDIES CENTER |
The National Endowment for the Humanities has awarded Penn's African Studies Center a two-year grant for an educationally innovative project on "Teaching and Learning about Africa through Modeling, the Internet, and Distance-Learning." The $210,000 project focuses on East Africa and the Swahili language and peoples as focal points for building an interlocking and cohesive set of teaching materials, educational resources, instructional models, and interactive distance-learning TV broadcasts. The broadcasts will be beamed by satellite to school children across the United States, and educational resource materials will be made available through the Internet to the general public and to academics and educators at all levels.
The NEH project is therefore targeted to multiple audiences:
--For school children in the Philadelphia area, a year-long distance learning TV course in the Swahili language will be broadcast to students in the sixth through 12th grades. The course will be videotaped and disseminated nationally.
--For school students nationally, a series of model lessons broadcast live for TV audiences will be beamed by satellite connection. These broadcasts will focus on East African history, culture, arts, and literature.
--For the general public a "living library of educational resources" on East Africa and its Swahili-speaking peoples will be posted on the Penn African Studies Internet Web site.
--Finally, for Philadelphia school teachers, Africanist faculty from the Penn, Bryn Mawr, Haverford, and Swarthmore African Studies Consortium will conduct curriculum enrichment seminars on East African history, archaeology, literatures, arts, and culture. The seminars will be held in 1996-97 and will prepare teachers for the broadcasts that are scheduled for 1997-98.
The grant will be carried out by faculty from Penn and its African Studies Consortium colleagues at Bryn Mawr, Haverford, and Swarthmore colleges in collaboration with the School District of Philadelphia's Department of African and African-American Studies and its Division of Television, Instructional Media Technologies, and Distance Learning.

Study Abroad in Africa
New Program in Senegal
Students will soon have one more African university to choose from when deciding where to study in Africa. The University of Pennsylvania is finalizing arrangements for a new study abroad program at the University Saint-Louis in Senegal. More details will be forthcoming. Students at Penn, Bryn Mawr, Haverford, and Swarthmore Colleges, all members of the African Studies Consortium, currently have three African universities to choose from: the University of Ghana in Legon, the University of Nairobi in Kenya, and the University of Zimbabwe in Harare.
Swarthmore College is the lead institution for the program at the University of Ghana in Legon. Students attending the University will have the guidance of a university professor who works directly with Swarthmore and access to individual faculty tutors in their main areas of interest. They will be encouraged to develop independent projects with the advice and supervision of faculty members. They will also live with Ghanaian students at the University. Courses and projects are available in most areas of the social sciences as well as the humanities, including especially Ghanaian (and African) history and culture, literature, development, society and politics, music, theater, arts, and linguistics. English is the official language of Ghana and the instructional language at the University. Instruction in Twi, a principle Ghanaian language, is available and strongly recommended. For more information contact Steven Piker, Foreign Study Advisor, Swarthmore College at 215-328-7826 or spiker1@cc.swarthmore.edu.
Bryn Mawr is the lead institution for the program at the University of Nairobi in Kenya. The host institution is the Institute of African Studies at the University of Nairobi. Courses will be selected from the University curriculum under the advice of the Director of the Institute and the students' academic advisors. Available courses include Ethnology of African Societies, Field Methods in Anthropology, Family and Kinship, Economic Anthropology, and Verbal Art (oral literature). Students will reside in hostels within walking distance of the University, which offer options from dormitories to private rooms. Staying with local families is also a possibility. For more information contact Elizabeth G. Vermey, Office for International Initiatives, Bryn Mawr College at 610-526-7921 or 7922.
Penn is the lead institution for the program at the University of Zimbabwe. Currently, undergraduate engineering and liberal arts students can take courses at the University. In addition, faculty from Zimbabwe will be teaching, doing research, and taking courses at Penn. Penn's School of Medicine is also negotiating with Zimbabwe's medical school to establish research and clinical relationships.
Penn students interested in studying in Africa may attend an introductory meeting on October 3rd, from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. in Bennett Hall, Room 328. For information contact Patricia Martin, Office of International Programs at 898-1654, 898-9073, or martinp@pobox.upenn.edu
The Passing of Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe
Nigeria's first president, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, passed away on May 11th of this year at the age of 91. With his death, the world mourns a monumental figure in this century's decolonization and nation-building struggles. Penn played a part in Azikiwe's story as the institution where he completed a master's degree in Philosophy and Anthropology in 1933 and which conferred on him an honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters in 1980, on the occasion of Nigeria's twentieth anniversary as an independent nation.
"Zik of Africa" was born in Zungeru in northern Nigeria in 1903 under a British rule that he would work tirelessly to cast off. Returning to Africa after his studies in the U.S., Azikiwe went first to Ghana (then the Gold Coast) where he worked for the cause of national independence throughout West Africa with fellow Lincoln University and Penn classmate Kwame Nkrumah. Having served in the opposition Western House Assembly, Azikiwe was made first prime minister of Eastern Nigeria before becoming the president of an independent Nigeria in 1963. Scholar, journalist, and poet as well as politician, Azikiwe governed for three years before being ousted in a military coup that ultimately led to civil war. Criticized by the Biafran leadership, Azikiwe advocated a return to the federation when he saw the suffering wrought on his fellow Igbo people, and helped to end the bloody conflict.
Nnamdi Azikiwe survived his wife Flora and is survived by children and grandchildren. He will be missed by all partisans and friends of African liberation struggles.

Chinua Achebe to Speak
A conference entitled Across Languages and Cultures: Creative Writing in English by non-Native Speakers will be held October 24, 25, and 26 at West Chester University with keynote speaker Chinua Achebe. The conference aims to explore how non-native speakers of English, especially Africans, use the language in their creative writing. Writers will discuss the challenges of writing across cultural and language barriers, with emphasis on the intra-personal processes involved in using English and/or African vernaculars to mediate and articulate experiences, thoughts, and artistic creations. It also seeks to encourage scholars to examine the cultural and linguistic features of the English language as used by Africans in their creative writing during the past 50 years. A final aim is to place African creative writing and poly-lingualism in the context of multi-culturalism and poly-lingualism elsewhere (e.g. among the African-American diaspora), and in other situations produced by conquest, immigration, or exile. Special features of the conference are the presentations by various writers in which they discuss their works and the challenges they face in writing across the language divide.
The conference opens Thursday, October 24th at 9:00 a.m. After welcoming and preliminaries, Steven Kellman, Ashbel Professor of Modern Languages at the University of Texas-San Antonio, will lecture at 10:00 a.m. on Translingualism as a Worldwide Phenomenon. Various panels occur throughout the day. Chinua Achebe will speak at 7:30 p.m., and a reception will follow. On Friday, October 25th, panels focus on such topics as national literatures, Africanization of English, and representations of women. Houston Baker leads off on Saturday, October 26th at 9:00 a.m. speaking on Everybody Knows the Real Thing, But Magic Brings Us Home: Multicultural Notes. Panels will follow on African-American and Caribbean translingual/transcultural creativity. A forum comprising Achebe, Baker, Okpewho, Chinodya, Lindfors, and Kellman will wrap up the conference on Saturday afternoon.
Registration for the conference is $70 for professionals and $35 for students; it covers attendance at all conference events and a continental breakfast each day. Early registration, before October 11th, is available for $60 and $30. For more information contact Dr. T. Obinkaram Echewa, Dept. of English, West Chester University at 610-436-2822 or techewa@wcupa.edu.
African Dissertation Workshop Held
The University of Pennsylvania Population Studies Center and the Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene and Public Health collaborated to produce a "virtual" African Dissertation Workshop that took place between May 28 and June 3, 1996. Funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, the workshop was designed to enhance research skills through identifying compelling research questions; formulating significant hypotheses; and developing rigorous, systematic methodological frameworks. Seven faculty members from the two organizing universities and 14 graduate students from various U.S. and Canadian universities worked on the workshop topics for a week without leaving their home towns.
The Workshop was facilitated by the distribution of videotaped lectures and accompanying lecture notes, teleconferences, and workshop web sites with group e-mail. On their own time, participants viewed a total of eight videotapes covering a range of topics regarding the design of research on issues of African population and health. Sets of two videotapes were the subject of group teleconferences led by the faculty who gave the lectures. Internet connections on the Penn African Studies Web site allowed participants to have regular, real-time interaction and gave graduate students access to distinguished scholars in Demography and Public Health.
The two web sites created for the workshop have been left in place as public resources and a base to build on for the future. Check them out at http://www.sas.upenn.edu/African_Studies/Acad_Research/afrpop.html and http://www.sph.jhu.edu/DistanceEd/AfricanDissertation.

Internships and Fellowships
The Washington Office on Africa/
Africa Policy Information Center
The WOA has undergraduate internships available for legislative assistant/research assistant positions. Specific intern tasks include: tracking and analyzing Africa-created legislation, sharing information with congressional staff and media outlets, working with coalition partners, researching and drafting background text for upcoming publications, and assisting with community education and grassroots initiatives. Internships are non-paying and are available on a full-time or part-time basis. The application deadline for internships in the spring semester is December 1, 1996. For information contact Vicki Lynn Ferguson, Associate Director for Legislative Affairs, WOA/APIC, Washington, D.C., 202-546-7961, fax: 202-546-1545, or woa@igc.apc.org.
International Dissertation Field Research Fellowships
The Social Science Research Council and the American Council of Learned Societies announce a major new initiative in support of field research at the dissertation level. The International Dissertation Field Research Fellowship Program provides support for social scientists and humanists to conduct dissertation field research in all areas and regions of the world. The program will award up to fifty fellowships in 1997.
The Fellowship Program promotes scholarship that treats place and setting in relation to global and transnational phenomena as well as particular histories and cultures. The program operates on the premise that societies and cultures, from isolated villages to entire world regions, are caught up in processes that link them to events, which -- though geographically distant -- are culturally, economically, strategically, or ecologically quite near. At the same time, an integrated understanding of transnational and global phenomena (past and present) cannot be acquired without reference to the numerous specific places which give shape and substance to those larger processes.
The application deadline is December 2, 1996. For further information contact the Social Science Research Council, New York City, 212-377-2700, fax: 212-377-2727, idrf@ssrc.org, or http://www.ssrc.org.
International Predissertation Fellowship Program
The Social Science Research Council and the American Councils of Learned Societies will continue their International Predissertation Fellowship Program established in 1990 to increase the flow of the most talented students of social science into careers in advanced research on the developing world and to encourage departments of social sciences to more effectively promote and facilitate interdisciplinary preparation for research in developing countries.
The program provides an opportunity for the most promising graduate students in discipline-based doctoral programs to pursue training that will prepare them to conduct theoretically sophisticated dissertation research on the developing world that is informed by knowledge of local language, history, and culture.
The application deadline for Penn is January 2, 1997. For further information contact Dean Walter Licht, 16 College Hall or Ellen Perecman, Social Science Research Council, 810 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York, 10019, 212-377-2700, fax: 212-377-2727.
Spencer Dissertation Fellowship
Some thirty Fellowships are awarded each year by the Spencer Foundation to support doctoral candidates in a variety of fields whose dissertations promise to contribute fresh perspectives to the history, theory, or practice of education. Although the dissertation topic must concern education, graduate study may be in any discipline.
Requests for required application forms must be received by October 11, 1996, and completed applications must be postmarked by October 23, 1996. For further information, contact Catherine A. Lacey, Program Officer, The Spencer Foundation, 900 North Michigan Avenue, Suite 2800, Chicago, IL 60611-1542, 312-337-7000.
