Comm.) NOTES FROM THE SECRETARIAT As the last issue of the News was quite substantial, we do not have as much material to place in the summer issue. We have, however, placed an updated preliminary Meeting Program within, please use this latest as your guide, as there are some changes from that which was mailed in the preregistration packets. You should have received it by now, if any of you have not, please call the Secretariat, and we will send it out Also, please keep in mind that should you move (in our line of work, a fairly common occurance), your ASA materials will nQl be forwarded by the Post Office, but will be returned to us, so it is important for you to inform the Secretariat if you relocate. Preparations are well under way for the Denver Meeting and all indications point to a well organized, stimulating Meeting. We have also announced the dates for the 1988 Meeting in Chicago, so you can plan your schedules well in advance. If you need to make any last minute adjustments to the Program for Denver, please contact George Shepherd, as he has fmal say on panel scheduling. This will be the last preliminary program, the next version will be presented as the conference program in your registration packets in Denver. Remember to make your travel plans as soon as you can to take advantage of the reduced airfares provided by this year's travel agency. We've been assured they will provide better service than those we have used in the past, especially since we can contact the airlines directly. A final point on the Meeting. please be aware of the constraints imposed by the catering service for the Awards Banquet. It may be difficult for us to accomodate last minute requests for tickets and we will problably nru be able \. to sell tickets at the Conference because of the need to inform catering of the final count several days before the event, so send in your reservations as soon as possible to ensure your attendance at this event 3 \ Finally, let me remind you that the Secretariat will be moving its offices to Emory University in Atlanta, GA. We will continue to conduct ASA business out of UCLA until the Annual Meeting. After that, please address your inquiries and correspondence to: Executive Secretary African Studies Association Emory University Atlanta, GA 30322 As I have mentioned previously, we will do all we can, both myself and Edna Bay, to make the trasition as "painless" as possible. Please understand the difficulties • in such a move and rest assured that we will try and complete the transition as quickly as possible. We hope that the "new" looks of HIA, Issue and the ASR are appealing. I personally, got a bit tired of the "bargain basement'" appearance of our journals, even though the quality has been excellent, sometimes packaging can liven things up a bit. We hope our efforts meet with your approval. We look forward to seeing all of you in Denver at the Radisson Hotel November 2()..22. 1987 ANNUAL MEETING The 1987 Annual Meeting of the African Studies Association will convene at the Radisson Hotel, Denver, Colorado, November 20-22, 1987.

BIDS FOR EDITORSHIP OF AFRICAN STUDIES REVIEW At the Spring Meeting of the Board of Directors of the ASA, the Board acted upon the recommendation of the its Publications Committee and decided to open up the editorship of the Association's journals to a bidding and review process. The Board has adopted the principle that the editorship be reviewed, solicited, and awarded on a five­ year basis, with the understanding that the editorship need not necessarily change. This process has been instituted as a means for the Association to ensure that the best editorial and institutional support for our journals can be provided. Our current editors have consistently provided excellent service and, in fact, are encouraged to submit bids. The fIrSt editorship selected for bidding is that of the African Studies Review. The Board of Directors is looking for the best overall offer from a proposing editor or institution. Within such a bid should be an indication of the kinds of institutional support available and commitments from the proposed editor and institution. Possible forms of institutional support might include provisions for copy-editing, editorial assistance, secretarial support, support for general correspondence and communications, > computer and other technological assistance in the preparation of camera-ready copy. .. In addition, a curriculum vita with an indication of previous editorial experience and a statement of the proposers' vision for the future of the African Studies Review \ 5 should be submitted. This might include a description of the mechanism for the solicitation of manuscripts, editorial review of such, as well as plans for the book review and other special sections. All bids and supporting materials must be received by the Secretariat no later than November I, 1987, for consideration by the full Board at the Fall Meeting of the Association. Should you have any questions concerning the specifics of the publication of the African Studies Review, or any of the Association's journals, please contact the Secretariat for further information.

  • The Evolution of the African Student in American Higher Education, 1960-1980
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Illinois Digital Environment for Access to Learning and Scholarship Repository FROM STUDENT TO IMMIGRANT: THE DIASPORIZATION OF THE AFRICAN STUDENT IN THE UNITED STATES BY OLANIPEKUN LAOSEBIKAN DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Educational Policy Studies in the Graduate College University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2012 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Christopher M. Span, Chair Professor James D. Anderson Associate Professor Yoon K. Pak Assistant Professor Bekisizwe Ndimande ABSTRACT This dissertation examines African student non-return within the larger historical pursuit of higher education in the United States by African students. Non-return by African students as addressed in this study is a process more than two centuries old extending directly across four defined phases of African student migrations. Key primary documents including the autobiographies of African students, correspondence between African students and other primary agents of African student migrations as well as oral interviews from African students turned permanent settlers from the fourth phase of African student migrations to the United States, are utilized in this dissertation. The perspectives of the non-returning African student in this dissertation address three important areas central to analyzing non-return; first, the factors that shaped the choices of non-returning African students to study in the United States; second, the social and cultural experiences encountered as a part of their educational migrations; and last, the decision to non-return. Non-return as articulated through interviews in this dissertation and supported by other primary and secondary source documentation is identified as a fluid process constantly shifting in response to internal and external pressures as well as historical and contemporary forces.

  • Review “African [Women] A-Liberate Zimbabwe”
    Review “African [Women] a-Liberate Zimbabwe” [1] : Review of Reclaiming Zimbabwe: The Exhaustion of the Patriarchal Model of Liberation by Horace Campbell, David Philip Publishers, Cape Town, South Africa, 2003. Shereen Essof The crisis of the state and governance in Zimbabwe has divided Zimbabweans, the country's southern African neighbours and the international community. Given Africa's big challenges – HIV/AIDS, trade, debt, food shortages, environmental crises and unending civil wars ravaging failed states – it is striking that such significant symbolic political investment has been made in the fate of a small country (12 million people) with a rapidly declining economy no particular strategic significance. There is no doubt that the Zimbabwean situation is serious, or that President Robert Mugabe bears responsibility for the deep political crisis pervading the country, state-sanctioned repression and the mismanagement of the economy. The standard of living in Zimbabwe is worse today than it was in 1980. Some 65% of Zimbabweans are living either in poverty or extreme poverty (Campbell, 300). By July 2003, Zimbabwe had a currency shortage and an inflation rate of 450%. Its citizens face long queues for everything from bread to petrol. An agriculturally productive country has been reduced to seeking food aid. Further, Zimbabwe has one of the highest rates of HIV/AIDS infection on the continent, giving rise to a staggering 2 000 deaths per week. The pandemic has devastated Zimbabwe's social fabric and its productive and reproductive capacities (4, 169-70, 300), a tragic reality that has been aggravated by the sexist and homophobic public policies and practices of the Mugabe regime.

  • Promoting Institutional and Scholarly Capacity for ECD in Sub-Saharan Africa
    Promoting Institutional and Scholarly Capacity for ECD in Sub-Saharan Africa This report provides background to and results from the Early Childhood Development African Tertiary Survey: A partnership between the Association for the Development of Education in Africa- Working Group on Early Childhood Development (ADEA-WGECD), UNESCO/BREDA and the University of Victoria (UVic), Early Childhood Development Virtual University (ECDVU). Final Activity Report A. Description and Background The impetus for this project grew out of a convergence of interests and undertakings by various organizations regarding the further development of Early Childhood Education, Care and Development in Sub-Saharan Africa. One facet for accomplishing this objective is to increase both the capacity of tertiary institutions to play key innovative and supportive roles in the evolution of integrated Early Childhood Development (ECD) in their country, and the ability of individual scholars to expand Africa’s contributions to the international ECD and child development literature while enhancing country and regional research. It was critical, therefore, to determine the existing institutional ECD programmes and capacities and to identify key institutions and scholars that could move this agenda forward. In early 2009 discussions between Dr. Aster Haregot of UNICEF’s Eastern and Southern Africa Region (ESAR) and Dr. Alan Pence (UVic-ECDVU) resulted in a collaboration that produced a survey which asked respondents to identify undergraduate and graduate programmes in Early Childhood Education, Care and Development (ECD/ECCD/ECE) within tertiary institutions in their country, as well as scholars with an interest and expertise in the field. The survey was sent to 29 countries in sub-Saharan Africa (including 7 countries in the Western and Central Africa Region (WCAR) that had participated in the ECDVU programme).

Journal SmIOT lActurer. of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, University ol/Jar es $4Itwn University of Oar es Salaam The University of Oar es Salaam in Tanzania faces the same problem of the contradictory nature of University education which is to be found in all States of Africa. Discontinuities between the pre-colonial, colonial and post~ 9Ol0nial patterns and methods of education continue as the present components of formal education strive to retain relevance to the needs of the society. The interconnections between education and various aspects of the life of the socie- ty.remain problematic in so far as the structures, content and language of hi&her education in Tanzania and indeed the rest of Africa remain geared to the train- ing of high level manpower. This requirement of skilled manpower meets the needs of the administration of the people but the needs of the producers are not immediately met by the University. Throughout the African continent, the educational needs of the vast majority of the toilers are met by the transmis- sion of skills and agricultural knowledge accumulated over centuries and con- veyed through practical experience rather than in a classroom.

  • Preliminary Program Full V3.0
    Preliminary Program nd 62 Annual Meeting Being, Belonging and Becoming in Africa Thursday, November 21, 2019 – Saturday, November 23, 2019 Boston Marriott Copley Place Boston, MA Program Committee Chairs: Matthew Heaton, Virginia Tech James Ogude, University of Pretoria Local Arrangements Committee Chairs: Abel Amado, Simmons University Rita Kiki Edozie, University of Massachusetts, Boston Kwamina Panford, Northeastern University Eric Schmidt, Boston University Preliminary Program uploaded July 12th, 2019 Please note: This version of the program is based on data submitted during the original CFP. Updates to Names, Titles, Affiliations received subsequently are not yet reflected in this document. Updated versions of the program integrating these updates will be uploaded to the site approximately every two weeks. The next update of the program will be made available online on July 31, 2019. All requests for revision of names, affiliations, or paper titles received by July 26, 2019 will be reflected in the subsequent version. Program Theme The theme of this year’s Annual Meeting is “Being, Belonging and Becoming in Africa.” While Africa is not and never has been homogenous or unitary, the existence of the ASA is predicated on the idea that there are things that distinguish “Africa” and “Africans” from other peoples and places in the world, and that those distinctions are worth studying. In a world increasingly preoccupied with tensions over localism, nationalism, and globalism, in which so many forms of essentialism are under existential attack (and fighting back), we hope that this theme will spark scholarly reflection on what it has meant and currently means for people, places, resources, ideas, knowledge, among others to be considered distinctly “African.” As scholars have grappled with the conceptual and material effects of globalization, the various disciplines of African Studies have also embraced transnational, international, and comparative approaches in recent decades.
