The
Africana Studies and Research Center at Cornell University
is celebrating its 35th anniversary. As we reflect
on the major impact of the discipline known as Africana Studies,
Black Studies, African and African-American Studies, the 38th
annual conference of the AHSA is an opportunity for scholars,
students, activists and educators to charter a course for
the future of the field. Rooted in the Black intellectual
traditions of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, as
well as the Civil Rights and Black Power movements of the
1960’s and 1970’s, Africana Studies programs, departments
and centers are now facing a new terrain of challenges, which
require new strategies and innovations to strengthen and expand
the discipline.
The
organizers of the 38th Annual Conference are calling
for papers that explore and interrogate the many facets of
African and African diasporic experiences all over the world.
Topics may include Race; Class; Sexuality; Gender; Culture;
Information Technology; Afrocentricity; Africana Womanism;
Black Feminism; Post-Colonialism; Post-Modernism; Curricula
Development in Primary and Secondary Schools; Pedagogy; Resistance;
Activism; Africana Studies in Africa, The Caribbean Islands,
Europe, Asia, North, Central and South America; Prison Industrial
Complex; Law Enforcement; Health; Spirituality; Institution
Building; PhD Programs, The Role of Students in the Development
of Africana Studies; Music, Performing Arts, Humanities and
the Social Sciences.
