The Department of African American and African Diaspora Studies at Indiana University is pleased to announce that the Herman C. Hudson Annual Graduate Symposium will be held on April 3, 2004. This one-day international conference will explore topics on the theme: New Directions: Critical Issues in the 21st Century. Those interested in presenting papers should consider topics that are interdisciplinary, and that explore the experiences of people of African descent in relation to social and cultural formations, history and politics, and the environment. We are interested in attracting graduate speakers from many different disciplines who are exploring topics and issues related to the larger African Diaspora. All proposals must be postmarked no later than Dec. 1, 2003, and addressed to the address below.

Proposals abstracts and CV’s will be accepted by fax and email marked to the attention of: 2004 Herman C. Hudson Annual Graduate Symposium.
