Bonjour/Hello fellow African Studies Scholars “Far and Wide”

In 2017 CAAS is convening in Toronto at Ryerson University under the banner “From

Far and Wide: the Next 150”. CAAS, in an effort to build this year's conference from the "bottom up", asked you to set the agenda by first proposing full panels around themes of interest to you.  We have had a great response and are now sending out a call for individual papers.  Please go to our website http://caas-acea.org/conference/annual-conference to see a list of panel streams/themes which might “fit” with your paper proposal. If so, please indicate this in your submission.  If your paper does not fit one of the posted themes that is fine.  Please send your abstract in and we will do our best to place you on a panel with papers of similar theme or interest as we have done in the past.  Please submit your paper proposal by January 15, 2017. 

Paper Proposal Submission

The deadline for submitting paper proposals is January 15, 2017.  Send your paper proposals to CAASACEA2017@arts.ryerson.ca. Each proposal should include your name, a title and paper abstract (150-200 words), and, if relevant, the panel stream that best fits your paper. Please also provide your email address and institutional affiliation.

Important Notice

Please note that there has been a change to CAAS policy.
