CONFERENCE CALL: HIGHER EDUCATION COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND GOVERNANCE IN 2050
The conference aims to address the status quo of the higher education community engagement and its performance monitoring and evaluation. There is a need for visionaries to prepare our country towards 2050 to become a respected partner both in the local and global knowledge domains.
The conference calls out to academics, experts, leaders, practitioners and students to boldly state the key issues that could make our universities and communities sustainable in a global environment. In addition, participants are required to create a vision that aids government, universities and communities to effectively achieve the National Development Plan and the Sustainable Development Goals outcomes. In this regards we should question if the current higher education, community engagement and governance “models and practices” are relevant to meet both the short-and long-term requirements of a growing nation. We therefore need to highlight and deal with the challenges and claim a path for scholarly engagement and sustainable development.
Date of Conference: 29-30th August 2019; Venue: Durban (LOCATION TO BE ANNOUNCED) Time: 8.30 till 4.00pm; Deadline for abstract: 3 June 2019

Call For Proposals: Being, Belonging and Becoming in Africa
62nd Annual Meeting of the African Studies Association, November 21 – 23, 2019, Boston Marriott Copley Place
DEADLINE TO RECEIVE PROPOSALS: March 15, 2019
The theme of the 2019 African Studies Association annual conference is “Being, Belonging, and Becoming in Africa.” While Africa is not and never has been homogenous or unitary, the existence of the ASA is predicated on the idea that there are things that distinguish “Africa” and “Africans” from other peoples and places in the world, and that those distinctions are worth studying. In a world increasingly preoccupied with tensions over localism, nationalism, and globalism, in which so many forms of essentialism are under existential attack (and fighting back), we hope that this theme will spark scholarly reflection on what it has meant and currently means for people, places, resources, ideas, knowledge, among others to be considered distinctly “African.”

Call for Abstracts, Recovering, digitizing and practicalizing Africa’s Indigenous Knowledge
Conference on African Studies, Kisii 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网, Kenya, July 15 - 20, 2019
ABSTRACTS DUE: March 15, 2019
Following broadly defined and multi-purpose transdisciplinary approaches to areal studies, the African Studies Research Center, Kisii is holding its first international conference focusing on four largely circumscribed thematic research areas under the theme of “Recovering, digitizing and practicalizing Africa Indigenous Knowledge”. The goal in accordance with the objective of the emerging African Studies Research Center at Kisii 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网 is to provide, fieldwork-based documentation of those traditional ways of knowing and doing things across nations of Africa spanning different institutions as well as give theoretical account of the same. The intent is to bring together scholars and practitioners alike to make sense of indigenous ways of knowing and of doing things across the continent, and to analyze persistent issues in a way that would liaise with science to proffer viable solutions that in turn would inform practice. Essentially, the conference is to transition us from Knowledge to practical applications.
Abstract submission: We invite abstracts (500 words maximum, excluding references) of unpublished work for oral presentations, posters, workshop, and theme sessions.
Acceptance notification: by April 2, 2019; Submit abstracts to: aa@kisiiuniversity.ac.ke; website: https://www.kisiiuniversity.ac.ke/conference/

AfriScoN Conference call for papers: Knowledge loss, bondage and regrets in post-contact societies
Faculty of arts, 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网 of Nigeria, Nsukka, Nigeria, 9-13 December 2018
Scholarly discussions around the experiences of most post-contact societies are encountered through theoretically and methodologically radical works such as found within the purview of postcolonial studies. We get a sense of the particularities and the universals in how colonial legacies are experienced and challenged. Yet, we must acknowledge the persistent domination of received over the indigenous knowledges in Africa for instance. In the Africanity Scholars inaugural conference, we ask how one might conceptualise loss, bondage, and regret in thinking about the tensions between autochthonous and heterochthonous knowledge systems. How do religion, technology, culture, society, disciplinary formations, academic discourses, etc. structure and simultaneously play as the sites of these tensions? Papers are invited from academics, scholars, practitioners and advocates of indigenous knowledge systems and graduate students whose research interests relate to these questions.
Deadline for call for papers: 31 August

Trails, Traditions, Trajectories: Rethinking Perspectives on Southern African Histories
This 27th Biennial Conference of the Southern African Historical Society comes barely a year before the 200th Anniversary of the 1820 English Settlers who occupied parts of Eastern Cape including Grahamstown itself, dispossessing Xhosa and other groups. The histories of these settlers was pivotal to the later colonisations of what later became Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland, Zimbabwe, Malawi and Zambia, as South Africa became a base for British colonialism regionally. The broader Southern African region is rethinking the legacy of dispossession: for example, with resource nationalism in Mozambique and decades of radical land redistribution in Zimbabwe, both of which have had significant implications for the region’s economic performance, leading to illegal goods and human traffic. The pronouncement – towards the end of the Zuma era in South Africa - of ‘radical economic transformation’ and ‘expropriation of land without compensation’ signals the need for historians to engage with these crucial issues. Of equal concern is the rise of China as a global economic player and its impact on Africa. How could historians of our time examine African economic histories?
Proposals: Proposals for the various sessions will be in the following formats: papers, panels and roundtable discussions. Please consider choosing a session format that will most effectively achieve your intellectual goals and facilitate lively interaction among presenters and the audience. Paper submissions should include an abstract (max 200 words) and a very short bio of about 100 words. Panel and roundtable submissions should include a minimum of three papers (each with a 300-word abstract and short bio), a proposed moderator/chair (if possible), and a 100-word abstract. Please email these to Enocent Msindo, @ e.msindo@ru.ac.za by 15 December 2018.
Further details regarding conference registration, student bursaries, conference logistics, the SAHS Vice-Presidential student essay prize, and the special conference issue of the South African Historical Journal will be published on the SAHS conference website in due course.

Call for Papers African Studies Association Conference (Nov. 29-Dec.1, 2018 in Atlanta)
March 1, 2018, Massachusetts, United States
Panel Title: Race, Blackness, and Africa: West Africans in the Maghreb
In recent years, the Maghreb has become increasingly oriented toward the larger continent of Africa, refocusing its eastward gaze on its neighbors just south of the Sahara. While historians have shown growing interest in historic trans-Saharan contact and trade, comparatively little attention has been given to how contemporary migration of West Africans into the north have impacted Maghrebi culture, society, and everyday life more broadly. Whether through economic initiatives, newly (re)formed political bonds, or changing (im)migration patterns, this panel asks how North Africans are being compelled to rethink both their own africanité as well as the place of other Africans in Maghrebi societies.
Please submit 250 word abstracts by March 1, 2018 for consideration to Kristin Gee Hickman and Cynthia Becker. Registration deadline for the African Studies Association Conference is March 15, 2018.

We are seeking articles that question whether these terms sufficiently evoke issues of specificity and materiality.
