CFP: UDI 50th Anniversary Postgraduate Workshop
November 4, 2015, 10-4pm at the University of Bristol, UK with keynote speaker Sue Onslow. Date: November 4, 2015. Subject Fields: Government and Public Service, African History / Studies
Fifty years ago, on 11 November 1965, the Rhodesia Front Party issued a unilateral declaration of independence (UDI) from Britain. Only in 1981, after a prolonged, radical national struggle, attempted economic isolation, international hostility and brutal civil war did internationally-recognised independence come, under black majority rule. The importance of Zimbabwe’s colonial past is still contentious.
Papers on the Central African Federation, Southern African decolonisation in the 1960s, apartheid and race relations in Southern Africa in the 1950s and 1960s, international relations and decolonisation in the 1950s and 1960s and British policies relating to African decolonisation will be welcomed.
Please send a 250-word synopsis of your paper along with short bio to Khaleelah.jones@bristol.ac.uk

Human beings have traditionally been preoccupied with visions of the future. We may now have more power to shape the future of human beings for better or worse, intentionally or unintentionally. Technology advances so quickly, it leaves little time to consider the long-term. How might novels and films present futures and allow us to accept or reject their projections? This panel invites discussion of individual representative works and/or multiple works for comparison.
This panel will take place at NeMLA's 2016 convention in Hartford, CT, March 17-20, 2016.
Abstracts are due by Sept. 30, 2015. To submit an abstract, please go to: https://www.cfplist.com/nemla/Home/S/15601

Mark Twain was a prolific writer whose career spanned a tumultuous time in American history. Beyond being prolific, Twain was also comfortable experimenting with a variety of genres of writing from fiction to non-fiction travel essays and humorous sketches that blur the boundaries between fact and fiction. This panel would look at a variety of works and ask questions such as: How did Twain treat themes like race, gender, the environment and income inequality? Also, in what ways was Twain a product of his time, how were his works shaped by the world around him and how do they resonate today…

In “Refugee Memories and Asian American Critique,” Viet Thanh Nguyen suggests that a category of refugee literatures outside of disciplinary borders of national literatures “allow[s] a different set of connections across time and space that point somewhere else besides assimilation into the nation and to affiliations with other people besides US citizens” (934). What connections are necessary to make, and what kinds of borders do we have to cross, in the teaching of refugee literatures?
