ECAS 2025: Deadline for Call for Panels Extended to 15 September 2024

Building on the success of the previous ECAS conferences, the theme for ECAS 2025 – African, Afropolitan, and Afropean Belongings and Identities – highlights new challenges in embracing the complexities and ambiguities of our interconnected world, and in conceptualising multiple trajectories, constructions, expressions, and performances of social realities related to Africa and Africans. The topic reflects the tremendous heterogeneity in the approaches of African studies scholars to the study of in-between spaces in historical and contemporary African, Afropolitan and Afropean realities.

The call for panels is open until 15 September 2024.
