I am pleased to announce that the Conference:"Bread-nut Men, Chestnut Women: Gender Stereotypes within the African Diaspora" Went very well. A Publishing house has contacted us to release the proceedings of the conference.
We are therefore calling for more papers pertaining to Gender stereotypes within the African Diaspora and the Creole milieu.

-What is the role of official historical curriculum, in promoting these stereotypes?

Gender stereotypes in Art:
-How is traditional music vectoring gender stereotypes?
-In which ways have these stereotypes evolve with the socio-economical changes and the various musical fusions?
-Gender stereotypes carnaval: catharsis or bacchanal?
-Light skinned women dark skinned men and the media: the establishment of beauty canons.

Gender stereotypes in post colonial nationalistic discourse
-What is the weight of Black Feminism/Womanism in the race equality struggle.

Gender stereotypes in literature:
- How are stereotypes sustained or discarded in literature from the African Diaspora.
-How can these stereotypes differ in non African Diasporic discourses?
