Blackness and Disability: The Reprise
 
In summer 2017, African American Review published a special issue on Blackness and Disability. This issue was groundbreaking for a variety of reasons. So that it does not function as a scholarly version of a one-hit wonder, and since, without prodding, these conversations would get stagnated, we aim to create another space for scholars to have this conversation about Blackness and disability in CLAJ, entitled Blackness and Disability: The Reprise.
 

Following the selection of the panels, the Association for African Studies in Italy (ASAI) announces a Call for papers for its Fifth biennial conference Plural Africa. Politics, knowledge and social dynamics in time and space. 

The selected panels that are open to paper proposals are here: https://eventi.unibo.it/pluralafrica/call-for-papers
For details of the individual panels see the attached file at the bottom of the indicated web page.
