AFRICA editorial board + ASAUK conference 2014
To the members of the AFRICA editorial advisory board:
As discussed at our most recent editorial advisory board, the IAI/AFRICA is able to sponsor one or two panels at the next ASAUK
conference being held 9-11 September 2014. The kind of sponsorship we anticipate is a modest financial contribution of e.g. £500 to a panel
to help an African scholar to attend the conference who would not be able to access full funding through other means.
At the 2012 ASAUK conference for example, the journal sponsored a panel on radio convened by Harri Englund; and at the recent AEGIS
conference, a round table on ‘the popular’ convened by Birgit Meyer/Filip De Boeck/Karin Barber.
The ASAUK’s CFP is attached. Please note that the deadline for submissions of panels is 20 September 2013. If you are proposing a panel, which you would like the IAI/AFRICA to consider sponsoring, please inform us about your panel by the same deadline giving an indication of the support being sought.
All requests for support from the IAI/AFRICA will be considered by the journal editors and Institute.
