CALL FOR PROPOSALS
First African and African American Studies Conference
“African Identities in the Age of Obama”
October 8-10, 2009
To provide a critical forum for the continued examination of African identities, the African and African American Studies (AAAS) Program at George Mason University (GMU) will host a multidisciplinary conference titled “African identities in the Age of Obama.” This international meeting of scholars and students will be held on October 8-10, 2009, on the main GMU campus in Fairfax, Virginia. The objective of this conference is to create opportunities to explore the complex ways in which African identities are constructed, expressed and represented. AAAS seeks a broad range of papers representing diverse methodological approaches. Papers from scholars in the fields of African, African American and African diaspora studies are encouraged. Contributions that engage critically with notions of African identity in the age of Obama are especially welcome.
