The Journal of Pan African Studies (www.jpanafrican.com) welcomes papers for a June 2012 special edition on Leadership in Africana Studies. With the commemoration of the 40th anniversary of Black Studies in the United States, particularly at colleges and universities coming and going, much of the history of this movement remains with select individuals present at the origin and active throughout the era. To address this issue, JPAS calls for papers that investigate the lived experiences of those who hold or held a leadership position in the construction of Black Studies. Contributions may come in the form of interviews, personal narratives, oral histories, multi-media presentations, and other means that extract the mission, goals, objectives and outcomes of Black Studies. We also welcome self-reflective analysis and contributions from the new generation of leaders within Black Studies.
The selection criteria will involve: relevance to theme, clarity of paper, intellectual significance, and originality. Participants must send a 50 word abstract by March 1, 2012, and their final paper by April 15, 2012 (the paper and abstract must include participant name, affiliation, paper title, and e-mail address) to jpanafrican@yahoo.com.
