Following successful events in 2006, 2007 and 2008, postgraduate members of the International History Group at the University of Sheffield are holding their fourth annual conference. Following last years overwhelming response, this year we will be extending our conference over two days. Postgraduate researchers from across the arts, humanities and social sciences are invited to submit abstracts for 15-20 minute papers, on any aspect of colonial and post-colonial African history, which reflect on the problem of conceptualising and writing about aspects of historical change in Africa. Papers might intersect with one or more of the following themes:
African Nationalisms
Decolonization and Transitions
Borders, Boundaries and Partitions
Belonging, Exile and Identity
Colonial and Postcolonial States
Conflict, Resistance and Violence
Religion and the Supernatural
