Call for abstract for the panel on: The (Re)generation of the Nonhuman: Nature and Text in Dialogue Panel Chair: Israel Eweka (University of Birmingham, United Kingdom)   The last decade has seen a surge in scholarly interdisciplinarity, exploring the nonhuman in a broad range of critical perspectives. Whether through Glenworth et al (2024)’s conservationist prism which contextualizes ‘Rewilding’ as a way of restoring ‘non-human autonomy’; or perhaps, through Bram Büscher (2021)’s capitalist reflections on nature’s alienation and entanglement, both of which are recent approaches that seek to champion the cause of ‘decentering the human in favor of a concern for the nonhuman’ (Grusin, 2015: 1), we see a growing pace of intersectionality within which nature and literature are brazenly intertwined. Often suggested as a repressed generation of ecological beings, either of subaltern considerations or anthropomorphic (de)constructions, the nonhuman, whether it be plants, animals, or ecosystems, has continued to fit the bill for a contemporary kind of critical and textual narrative that urgently needs to undergo transformation through a process of generation, regeneration or auto- generation, after decades of being consistently synonymous with the image of depletive degeneration. David Abram (1996:22-23) describes the geographical space of this non-human depletion of nature as a biosphere of ‘nonregenerative’ decline, which in his views, has resulted in a variation of problems for humans: epidemics (including immune diseases and cancers) or perhaps, pandemics like the 2019 COVID which postdates Abram’s study; or mental disorders. In the face of today’s climate change and biodiversity loss, this session proposes a constructive way of exploring literature’s capacity to both reflect (on) the devastation of the natural world and, more importantly, provide imaginative models for its regeneration. Drawing on ecocritical theory, environmental humanities, posthumanism, and new materialism, this session invites papers that trace how literary texts can challenge anthropocentric templates, (re)framing a textual world in which the nonhuman is seen as an active element with agency, forging a reciprocal connection with the human world. Submission of abstract has opened on 15th June 2025 and closes on 30th September 2025. Papers can engage with, but are not limited to, the following themes: 1. Ecocriticism (this includes a combination of ecocritical theories with other theories with the use of the prefix 'eco', e.g., ecofeminism, ecophenomenology, ecopoetics, ecoqueer, etc) 2. Environmental Humanities 3. Geocriticism 4. Green Negritude Studies 5. Green Cultural Studies 6. Deep Ecology 7. Dark Ecology 8. Collapsology/Spiralism 9. Speciesism This session proposes an ‘auto-presentation’ format only, where presenters are expected to prepare, in advance, a 15-minute pre-recorded video and/or audio version of their papers; and then play these to their audience at the conference, followed by a live Q&A session. The creative and innovative part of this session lies in the deviation from live oral presentation of papers by presenters, laying emphasis on the use of pre- recorded materials (videos/audios) in combination with PowerPoint slides while the presenter will be on standby to answer questions at the end of their automatic presentation. This format is therefore Q&A- focussed, as this will help to increase the number of questions asked to presenters at conferences. This innovation will also help young and first-time conference panellists (particularly (post)graduate students) to build confidence in oral presentations rather than shying away altogether from paper presentations at conferences. Mode of abstract/pre-recorded materials submission Abstracts must not exceed 250 words in length, accompanied by a short bio note on presenters at the bottom of the abstract page. Abstracts and presentation are only accepted in English please. (Including language of pre-recorded materials). Abstract submissions must be marked as “auto-presentation” and presenters must confirm if they are attending in person or virtually. Submissions of pre-recorded materials will be requested closer to the time of the conference (after the abstract submission deadline of 30 September 2025) to ensure a vetting process that would verify accurate duration, quality and media compatibility (document’s size and format) of pre-recorded materials submitted, before a final acceptance will be conveyed to presenters whose submissions meet all the stipulated requirements. Abstracts should be submitted directly via this link: https://cfplist.com/nemla/Home/S/21903 ***Early career researchers and (post)graduate students are particularly encouraged to send in their abstracts to this panel.

Deadline for the submission of abstracts: September, 5th. This special issue of Cahiers d’Études africaines seeks to examine academic writing and publishing within the scientific editorial system of African studies, both today and in the past. Reflexive and critical, this call encourages future contributors to take scientific publishing in African studies as a subject and a field of investigation, focusing on three entry points: texts, individuals, and journals. Its ambition is to investigate the “engine room” of the African studies publishing by examining its operating mechanisms and the challenges they reflect or activate.  CfP: Behind the Scenes of Journals in African Studies Read more

Call for Papers (CFP) In recent years, labour and its many worlds have once again occupied a central place in historiographical debates on the history of the Americas. This renewed interest has not only brought a critical lens to hierarchies, coercion, and violence—both past and present—but has also sought to examine the agency, negotiations, connections, and strategies of those who, from below, acted amid various forms of inequality. We are grounded in a tradition of social and cultural labour history that seeks to understand the heterogeneous labour realities across the Americas. This field of study has placed workers—men and women—their families, support networks, spaces of socialisation, and lives in movement at the centre of analysis, enriching the notion of "worlds of labour" by showing how labour experiences are deeply intertwined with cultural values, political identities, and racial and gender relations. This fertile historiography has pushed beyond the factory, the union, and the white male worker as the privileged historical subject and beyond the classic periodisations that defined labour as a by-product of capitalism and the industrial revolution. From this perspective, we aim to contribute to the global and connected histories of labour, focusing on the period between the 16th and 19th centuries, and inviting reflections on how racial and gendered relations shaped these labouring worlds. We seek to make explicit how collective imaginaries of difference have been inscribed in labour dynamics, reinforcing, challenging, and subverting established hierarchies. We aim to echo these entangled conversations and are particularly committed to including the voices of young scholars from the global South—voices that have too often been sidelined in these historiographical debates. In addressing these absences, we highlight, on one hand, disparities in access to research funding and the pervasive preference for English as the default language for narrating the history of the Americas. On the other hand, we underscore the persistence of historiographical traditions that have long taken methodological nationalism as both their point of departure and arrival. We are especially interested in contributions that question, expand, or reframe methodological nationalism in the Americas by focusing on the transnational circulation of people, ideas, and labour practices. We welcome, in particular, studies that explore connections between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and labour circuits across the Pacific that can challenge Atlantic centrality. To that end, we invite research that explicitly employs connected history methodologies (e.g., multi-case studies, network analysis, prosopography, or transnational microhistory) and that integrates interdisciplinary approaches (history, anthropology, sociology, gender studies) to investigate the intersections of race, gender, and labour. By centring the Americas in this analysis, we open space for comparative and relational inquiries into colonisation, population movements, the imposition of diverse forms of coerced labour, and the formation of global markets and exchange networks. In this spirit, we encourage submissions in multiple languages (Spanish, Portuguese, English, and French) and, through a hybrid format, seek to broaden participation among researchers with limited access to funding or traditional academic venues. Important information: The seminar Between Two Oceans: Connected Histories of Labour, Race, and Gender in the Americas (16th–19th centuries) will take place on 12 November 2025 at the Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio), in a hybrid format. The event is promoted by Laboratório de Pesquisas em Conexões Atlânticas (CNPq/PUC-Rio). We look forward to welcoming in-person and remote participants whose proposals are selected.   Submission: Submit your proposal in Portuguese, Spanish, or English.

 The African Critical Inquiry Programme has named Maja Jakarasi as recipient of the 2025 Ivan Karp Doctoral Research Award. Jakarasi, a Zimbabwean student in the Anthropology Department, is working on his PhD at the University of the Western Cape. Support from ACIP’s Ivan Karp Award will allow Jakarasi to pursue significant research for his dissertation. He will do ethnographic research in Rushinga District, Zimbabwe and across the border in Mozambique as well as archival work in Harare, Zimbabwe for his project, Spiritual Transformation, Healing, and Mental Illness in Contemporary Zimbabwe.             Founded in 2012, the African Critical Inquiry Programme (ACIP) is a partnership between the Centre for Humanities Research at University of the Western Cape in Cape Town and the Laney Graduate School of Emory University in Atlanta. Supported by donations to the Ivan Karp and Corinne Kratz Fund, the ACIP fosters thinking and working across public cultural institutions, across disciplines and fields, and across generations. It seeks to advance inquiry and debate about the roles and practice of public culture, public cultural institutions, and public scholarship in shaping identities and society in Africa through an annual ACIP Workshop and through the Ivan Karp Doctoral Research Awards, which support African doctoral students in the humanities and humanistic social sciences enrolled at South African universities. About Maja Jakarasi’s project: Jakarasi’s research project, Spiritual Transformation, Healing, and Mental Illness in Contemporary Zimbabwe, will address how healing practices have transformed from the Second Chimurenga to the political and socio-economic challenges that Zimbabwe is facing today. (The Second Chimurenga (1964-79) was Zimbabwe’s War of Independence.) Jakarasi’s research will explore the transformations of practices, meanings, and rituals that are apprehended as traditional against the backdrop of the current socioeconomic crises bedeviling Zimbabwe, crises that are traced back to the 1990s when the Zimbabwean government adopted the market-oriented Economic Structural Adjustment Programme (ESAP). ESAP liberalised, deregulated, and privatised the economy, which resulted in rapid and adverse sociocultural changes and inequalities. Through ethnographic work, Jakarasi will investigate traditional healing practices among the Shona people in Rushinga district, Mashonaland Central Province in Eastern Zimbabwe. What has been the significance of traditional healing practices to people on the ground and to society at large? How has this changed over the four decades since Zimbabwean independence in 1980? Which forms of spiritual transformation have been relevant to healing practices in Zimbabwe? Historical and archival research will expand the ethnographic work in order to capture the trajectories of change in traditional healing from the time of the second Chimurenga to the 21st century. Jakarasi will draw insights on the forms and importance of spiritual transformations and healing practices by synthesizing theoretical frameworks related to indigenous knowledge systems (IKS), explanatory models of illness, and comparative work on spiritual transformation and healing.  * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *                   Information about the 2026 Ivan Karp Doctoral Research Awards for African students enrolled in South African Ph.D. programmes will be available in November 2025.

The opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum has been hailed as a major museological achievement, a cutting-edge and high-tech advancement with the potential to shift global discourses on the repatriation of Pharaonic antiquities. And yet, little emphasis has been placed on how such discourses entrench existing museological norms, situating categories of “antiquity”, “artifact”, “treasure”, and “discovery” through extractive, colonial frameworks.  Decolonizing Archaeological Epistemologies is a conference critically examining archaeological histories and practices, proposing instead more expansive, democratic, and liberatory approaches to the past and material culture, challenging extant museological, academic, economic, and legal systems governing the ways that material culture is collected, studied, and traded. With implications spanning beyond Egyptology to archaeology, museology, and historical disciplines more broadly, this conference proposes a counter-colonial approach that rethinks the status of the historical object in the public eye. Sessions include: Beyond “treasure”; challenging artifactual ontologies and epistemologies    Counter-colonial museum exhibition strategies   Resisting archaeological extractivism; new approaches to field-based research  Community-based archaeology in theory and practice     Beyond the “thing itself”; digital and ephemeral approaches to archaeological collections  Who gets the past? New discourses in restitution, return, and repair   Keynote: Dr. Monica Hanna (Arab Academy for Science Technology and Maritime Transport) Scholars engaging with these themes at a graduate, post-graduate, or professional level are invited to apply. Scholars working in the Global South are particularly encouraged to apply. Small travel stipends are available on a limited basis to offset travel costs.  Interested participants are requested to submit a 250 word abstract and contact information via the form below by August 15, 2025: https://forms.office.com/e/BTewqkNM9U    Read more

Workshop: The Organization of African Unity and the Struggle against Colonialism and Racism in Africa Lisbon, 13 and 14 November 2025 In-person and online Venue: NOVA University of Lisbon, Portugal    The study of international organizations is an emerging field that covers a topic of growing importance in academia. In recent decades, the contributions of such organizations as actors in international relations have received increasing attention (Iriye 2004). Theoretical and empirical analyses seek to provide insights into the work of intergovernmental organizations, nongovernmental organizations, or transnational networks. By expanding their geographical scope beyond national borders, scholars interested in international organizations have reflected the myriad ways in which they can be studied (Hurd 2012). The Organization of African Unity (OAU), as a regional organization, has been the subject of ongoing research (Gassama 2015). However, a review of existing publications reveals that relatively few studies have addressed the OAU's solidarity against colonialism and racism in Africa. Several reasons may explain this situation. Comparatively, the OAU has received less attention than other international organizations, notably the United Nations. Research has mainly focused on its establishment and achievements in conflict resolution, cooperation and development (Muchie et al. 2014; Naldi 1999). Difficulties in accessing primary sources may also have contributed to the diversion of interest from the OAU's contribution to decolonization and the end of white minority regimes. Writing on the subject has mostly been done at the time of the events and lacks historical perspective (Binaisa 1977; El-Khawas 1978). The accounts are limited in scope, discussing primarily the OAU's support for the liberation movements of Zimbabwe, Namibia and South Africa (Klotz 1995; Thomas 1996). With regard to the Portuguese colonies, with the exception of the work of Walraven (1999), it is difficult to find an overarching narrative, and the available information is mostly found in publications that do not focus on the topic as a primary concern (Sousa 2011; Tíscar Santiago 2013). Thus, a more critical approach is needed to question what the OAU did to support the struggle against colonialism and racism in Africa, as well as the complexities and nuances involved. With this situation in mind, we intend to explore the OAU's solidarity with the struggle against colonialism and racism in Africa in a workshop in-person and online that will take place in Lisbon, at the Institute of Contemporary History of the NOVA University of Lisbon, on 13 and 14 November 2025. The workshop aims to place the OAU initiatives in their context and help consolidate analyses of its solidarity as a critical subject of the end of colonialism and white minority regimes. In addition, the workshop will contribute to rethinking the gaps in historiography by examining the OAU solidarity as a transnational phenomenon that transcended national boundaries. We welcome proposals for 20-minute presentations on these and other topics: -The extent to which the OAU played a role in ending colonialism and racism on the African continent;  -How the Liberation Committee was instrumental in the strategy of the OAU to undermine colonial rule and racist minority rule; -How the attitudes of a number of states, due to inter-African competition, shaped the OAU's policies on colonialism and racism; -How the diplomacy of the OAU sought to shape the debate at the UN on colonialism and racism;  -How the OAU engaged with non-African countries as part of its support to the struggle for independence and against apartheid; -How the organization worked as an intermediary in the support given by third parties to anti-colonial and anti-racist organizations;   -The importance of the relationship with the OAU for anti-colonial and anti-racist organizations to advance their agenda;  -The tensions and disagreements between the OAU and the anti-colonial and anti-racist organizations;  -The extent to which the anti-colonial and anti-racist organizations sought to use the OAU not only against the colonial and racist powers, but also to sideline competing groups. Abstracts for presentations (200 words) and a biographical note (250 words) should be sent to: OAUconference@gmail.com Deadline for submissions: 8 August 2025 Notification of acceptance: 15 August 2025 The organization foresees the publication of the communications.
