CFP ASA 2014: New trends on Studies of the Horn

Submitted by Brian Yates on Monday, March 3, 2014

Greetings fellow Horn of Africa scholars,

Are you attempting to break from established lenses into the History/Anthropology/Sociology/Literature/Art (or any other discipline) of the Horn of Africa? Would you like to celebrate past scholars on the subject? Here is your opportunity to do both! As many of us have experienced, discussions on the Horn often become tenuous. Our idea is to have a roundtable that simultaneously celebrates many of the earlier generations of Western trained scholars on the Horn of Africa who have either retired or who are no longer with us and introduce new lenses into the study of this complex and important region. We are looking for two or more scholars of the Horn of Africa to join our roundtable panel.
