  • Higher Education, Geopolitics, and Sustainable Development in Africa
    Amid shifting geopolitical and policy landscapes in the U.S., uncertainties have emerged that may impact global education and research collaborations. While the full implications of these changes remain unclear, higher education institutions must remain steadfast in their mission to promote knowledge, collaboration, and sustainable development.    Alliance for African Partnership (AAP) in collaboration with the African Studies Center, Michigan State University are pleased to invite you to the AAP Public Dialogue on Higher Education, Geopolitics, and Sustainable Development in Africa. Join us as our expert panel discuss the contributions of African higher education institutions in transformative research, policy shaping, crisis leadership, and actionable strategies for strengthening the higher education sector amid these uncertainties, while advancing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.    Panelists: Tawana Kupe – Visiting Research Scholar, Michigan State University  Amalia Uamusse – Deputy Vice Chancellor, Eduardo Mondlane University David Norris – Vice Chancellor, University of Botswana Mwenda Ntarangwi – Vice Chancellor, USIU-Africa

  • CFP: Jesuit Studies at Sixteenth Century Society, Portland, OR 30 October - 1 November 2025
    CFP: Jesuit Studies panels at the Sixteenth Century Society (SCS) annual Conference, 30 October-1 November, 2025 at the Hilton Portland Downtown Hotel in Portland, Oregon, USA. The 2025 annual meeting will be held in person. A submission at this stage assumes a commitment to attending an in-person conference.  All conference participants must also join the Sixteenth Century Society. The Journal of Jesuit Studies sponsors panels and round tables at SCS to promote global Jesuit studies in different academic disciplines. Please submit abstracts on topics related to the study of Jesuits in art or architectural history, digital humanities, global/international studies, history, history of science and medicine, literature, or religion and theology, focusing on Jesuits around the world in the early modern period, of no more than 250 words, along with a short list of keywords, and a BRIEF CV (no more than 300 words, including affiliation, rank and one or two important publications or other evidence of scholarship) to Kathleen Comerford, kcomerfo@georgiasouthern.edu, no later than Tuesday, April 8, 2025. Please follow instructions carefully, as the submissions module does not allow flexibility of interpretation. The SCS is a conference focused on global early modern (c.1450-c.1750) scholarship in a variety of fields (including Art & Architectural History, Digital Humanities, English Literature, French Literature, German Studies, History, History of Science & Medicine, Interdisciplinary Studies, Italian Studies, Pedagogy and Professionalization, Spanish, Portuguese, and Latin American Studies, and Religion and Theology). Members present papers or posters, or engage in round-table discussions. For more information, see www.sixteenthcentury.org/conference. The SCS encourages the participation of international scholars and warmly welcomes early career researchers and postgraduates to the academic community. The SCS is a not-for-profit scholarly organization and therefore receives no governmental or institutional funding, and therefore cannot cover the costs of participation. The Journal of Jesuit Studies is also unable to offer funding. In order to participate in this conference, delegates or their sponsoring institutions or organizations will need to fund travel and lodging expenses in addition to a per-delegate registration fee (there is a reduced rate for registered students). Advance registration online is recommended. For an additional administrative charge, registration may also be completed at the meeting. Please note that conference registration fees are non-refundable. The fee supports conference facilities, general events at the conference, membership to the SCS, and one year’s subscription to the Sixteenth Century Journal. Contact Information Kathleen M.
