The Igbo Studies Association (ISA) invites scholars and other individuals interested in various spheres of Igbo Studies to submit abstracts on diverse topics relating to the theme of the 2011 conference. The 2011 conference calls for candid introspection and dispassionate analysis of issues. How can Ndi-Igbo unleash and channel their well-known entrepreneurism to construct a better future for themselves in the Nigerian political, economic, social and cultural environment? To what extent is the future of Ndi-Igbo dependent on Igbo agency and how could it be harnessed? To what extent will the future be determined by forces and circumstances outside the control of Ndi-Igbo? What is the role of the Igbo Diaspora in shaping the future of Ndi-Igbo? How can the perennial marginalization of Ndi-Igbo within the Nigerian state be effectively redressed? This conference, which focuses on the future, will allow participants to adopt or invoke a social/institutional change approach to articulate a better future for the Igbo people, both at home and abroad.
