For further April/June 1999 1999 ASA ELECTIONS The following persons have been nominated to stand for election as officers and members of the ASA Board of Directors. Return envelops and a ballot for the election have been inserted in copies of this newsletter sent to 1999 individual members. For the Vice-Presidency Tbomas A. Hale Statement of Candidacy The ASA is the largest and strongest organization of Africanist scholars in the world. But the tasks of research and teaching tend to blind us to the larger picture: the need to convey to an indifferent public a clearer sense of wby Africa is important today, and to explain bow our diverse audiences can learn more about the peoples of that continent. As an officer of the ASA, I will focus the organization's considerable strength on meeting these five goals: 1. Collaborate more closely with other organizations, both domestic and foreign, to raise awareness of Africa. These range from the Association of African Studies Programs to the African Heritage Studies Association, TransAfrica. the Summit on Africa, the Societe des Africanistes, UNESCO, CODES RIA, the West African Research Center in Dakar, and UBUNTIJ 2000. The launching ofjoint activities with these organizations cannot simply be delegated to the executive director, hut must he an objective of the board and the officers. Although the short-term concerns of these different groups may vary depending on the needs of their constituencies, we share a long-term interest--Africa. Together, we can work more effectively to raise the profile of Africa in this country. 2. Teach to a wider audience. We teach to our students, to our Africanist colleagues at mcetings. to our colleagues in other fields at home, to the administrators who control our resources, and, on occasion, to people in society who, through their elected representatives, control funds for Africa-related cultural exchanges, research, and aid. If we can lift our sighL<; from the immediate task of next week's lectures ill order to speak to colleagues in other disciplines, provide outreach to schools, and write for local publications, we may help a wider audience to understand the importance of Africa. Our Title VI National Resource Centers have a mandate to reach out. The Kennedy Center's outreach progrdlIl on Africa hali launched some pioneering efforts. We need to learn from them and also to find ways of multiplying our impact by combining our efforts to teach to all these audiences. 3. Embrace technology to reach these audiences and to connect our students to Africa. Ifthe Weh and e-mail are no longer new, we should think of new ways to usc them and other technologies that may contribute, in a synergistic way, to reduce the distance between Africa and our audiences. For example, e-mail now provides a path to link our students with counterparts in Africa, interactive video is now extending African Studies courses to locations that could not afford a specialist before, and interactive maps on a CD-ROM are helping our students to understand more clearly the multiple dimensions of the continent. Although technology cannot replace humans, a greater focus at our annual meeting on instructional innovation involving technology may help us to teach in a more effective manner. 4. Involve colleagues in Africa in our projects more directly, not only through exchanges of visits and involvement in research, but also via e-mail and through the development of common sites such as the West African Research Center in Dakar. It ha., grown considerably in the la<;t few years and now serves ali a physical and electronic locus for scholars on both sides of the Atlantic. 5. Diversify our annual meeting hy experimenting with new ways of exchanging information. While panels and roundtables are likely to remain the mainstays of our meetings in the future, we need to draw on the experience of sister organizations to create more interactive and dynamic ways of communicating. At the same time, we must attract a wider range of involvement from scholars in disciplines not normally represented at our meeting, encourage greater attendance hy botll graduates and undergraduates, and promote more than peripheral participation by secondary school teachers. To reach these goals, I will draw on 30 years ofexperience a" an instructor and researcher who hali published seven books, headed two Africanist organizations, the African Literature Association and the Association of African Studies Programs, and taught courses hy interactive video from the main campus at Penn State to multiple remote sites. Catherine Newbury Statement or Candidacy Now a~ in tbe past, tbere is a great need for knowledge about Africa rooted in local realities ratber tban Western Stereotypes. It is tberefore important for tbe ASA to do well what it ha~ been doing: encouraging research and teaching on Africa, !>erving as a forum for interdisciplinary inquiry and academic debate, and disseminating knowledge annut tbe continent to educators, specialists, and tbe general public. In recent years, tbe ASA has reached out in positive ways to new constituencies, promoting fuller participation in tbe Association of African-Americans, Africans, and women. We are larger and more diverse, and we have an inc"fea~ing number of a~socialed groups. At tbe same time, our Association has to accommodate 10 rapidly changing contexl~ in botb Africa and North America. We devote our careers to studying a complex and rapidly changing continent. But increa<;ingly, we need to lind ways 10 make our experienee and understanding available to otber constituencies--tbe press, government bodies, NGOs, business communities, schools and colleges, and tbe general public. If elected a<; Vice-President of tbe ASA, I would explore cost effective ways to achieve a wider diffusion of tbe Association's puhlications. For example, Issue' A Journal of Opinion publishes material tbat is vaiuahle for cJa<;sroom use ali well a~ for policymakers, journaIisl~, and development practitioners interested in Africa. I would also favor setting up a list of members willing to speak to tbe media on areas of tbeir expertise--a type of -Speakers' Bureau." In conjunction witb tbe Annual Meeting, tbe ASA could spon~or a training workshop, for interested members on how to improve communication witb tbe Media. We don't have answers to all of Africa's problems, but we need to be included in tbe debates about Africa more tban in tbe pa<;l. And we need to incorporate African commentators in our understanding of contemporary event, in Africa To promote new initiatives and sustain existing activities tbe ASA needs a strong secretariat and adequate funding. Settling in at Rutgers is now significantly advanced. Still, leaders of tbe ASA will need to devote continuing tbought and energy to assuring tbe smootb functioning of tbe ASA Secretariat, while seeking additional sources of funding. 'Ine ASA a<; an a<;sociation currently faces several internal transitions which will require effective interaction among a variety of constituencies. The impending generational shift witbin botb Nortb American and African academia, requires careful work witb universities to assure tbat tbese positions are retained. This situation underscores tbe importance of attention to tbe training of younger scholars, witb the challenges of funding for research tbat such lIaining requires. To help incorporate young scholars into activities of tbe Association I would seck to revive tbe practice of organizing panels for younger scholars at tbe Annual Meeting. We can do more to improve communication among scholars a<; universities move towards more "global" perspectives. At tbe same time, tbe ASA should continue its commilment to promote teaching about Africa at tbe undergraduate level and in K-12 schools, and especially to engage tbemselves more effectively in new fonns of information technology. Ongoing lIansitions witbin Africa also require tbe ASA and its members constantly to retbink tbeir relationships witb academic communities on tbe continent and to find new ways to slIengtben tbeir lies witb African colleagues. While rebuilding of some universities in Africa is ongoing, shortages of resources remain dramatic in many plaecs, and tbe book famine in libraries persists. I tbink it important for tbe ASA to continue to promote book drives for African libraries and to encourage projects to provide access to electronic resources in African universities. It is crucial to support tbe ASA's efforts to develop closer ties witb African research organizations such as CODES RIA, and to encourage collaborative research and faculty exchanges. In tbis context, tbe ASA should voice concern to tbe U.S. government about rigid visa restrictions which make it increasingly difficult for African scholars to travel to tbe U.S. for scholarly exchanges. African Studies has been my intellectual home and tbe major focus of my professional activities for many years. I wa<; Co-Convener of tbe ASA Women's Caucus and a Member of tbe Women's Caucus Steering Committee in tbe mid-1980s. I served on tbe ASA Board of Directors during 1988-1991, and on tbe 10int Committee on African Studies of tbe SSRCIACLS during 1991-1996. I have served as an associate editor of the Canadian Journal of African Studies, and as a member of tbe Board of tbe Association of Concerned Africa Scholars. I currently serve on tbe Board of Directors of tbe International Network for Documentation on tbe Great Lakes Region of Central Africa. This Geneva-ba<;ed organization actively collects and makes available on CD-Roms a wealtb of valuable unpublished materials on francophone CenlIal Africa. Having reeemly finalized plans to set up an office in Bujumbura, tbe Network is now spearheading a project to link universities in Rwanda, Burundi, and ea<;tern Democratic Republic of Congo witb an e-mail network and access to tbe internet My scholarly work has focused on historical relations between ethnicity and the state in Africa, and peasant-state relations and the politics of agrarian change, More recently I have concentrated on studying political transitions in Africa, and the politics of genocide. In The Cohesion of Oppression: Clientship and Ethnicity in Rwanda. 1860-1960 I explored how statebuilding, economic changes, and the exclusionary behavior of the ruling elite in colonial Rwanda contributed to rural radicalism and ethnic polarization in the decolonization process. Through subsequent research in Democratic Republic of Congo, I studied the effects of colonial and postcolonial agrarian changes on the sexual division of labor in rural communities. Life histories of rural women show that in some areas forced cultivation imposed under Belgian colonial rule brought increased male control over women's labor, with a reduction in women's autonomy; my publications from these projects have appeared in chapters of edited volumes and in many scholarly journals. In the course of these studies, I have received support from the Foreign Area Fellowship Program, the Izaak Walton Killam, Postdoctoral Program at Dalhousie University, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Institute for Advanced Study, and the Yale University Program in Agrarian Studies, among others. Given changing priorities, the ASA needs to continue to encourage support mechanisms for research in Africa. After two years at Dalhousie University, I have taught at Wesleyan University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1986, where I now hold a joint appointment in Political Science and African and Afro-American Studies. At UNC I have been a member of the Steering Committee for a USIA funded linkage program with the Women's Research and Documentation Program at the University of Dar es Salaam, and I have visited Tanzania on several occasions as part of this initiative. Within the SSRC, I have sought to extend interdisciplinary understandings of recent political transitions in Africa, as part of a collaborative project with Pearl T. Robinson and Mamadou Diouf. J edited a special issue of the African Studies Reyiew on Democratization in Africa (1994), and together, Robinson, Diouf and I have organized conferences in both the US and Africa; the resulL<; of these interchanges will appear in two forthcoming volumes on transitions in Africa. From the mid-I990s much of my attention has been focused on the unfolding political violence in central Africa. In addition to publishing scholarly analysis of these tragic events, I have participated in numerous workshops, conferences, consultations with diverse journalists and broadcasters, and briefings for policy makers and the general public, in places ranging from Uppsala to Arusha, Bamako, Montreal, and Bujumbura, as well a~ very frequently in the US. Most recently I provided testimony in January 1999 to the International Panel of Eminent Personalities convened in Addis Ababa by the OAU to investigate the causes of the Rwandan genocide. In such ways I would hope to encourage continuing our academic commitments yet broadeniug the constituencies with whom we interact. For the Board Joseph S. Caruso Biographical Information I am currently the African Studies Librarian at Columbia University in New York. I received my Ph.D. degree in African history from Columbia in early 1993. My doctoral dissertation, "Politics in colonial Kenya, 1929-1963: a history of Kilifi District," is an exploration of the social and economic origins of Mijikenda politics in coastal Kenya. Columbia University Libraries has a internationally-recognized research collection on Sub-Saharan Africa with over 100,000 books and over 1,700 serial tiLles. My principal responsibility as African Studies Librarian is to build and preserve materials on Africa for the library in active consultation with the African studies research community in and around the university. Every day, I strive to make the Africana collection and information about Africa as accessible as possible for studenL<;, faculty. and visiting scholars. Since 1994, I have been an active member of the Africana Librarians' Council (ALC), a sponsored organization of the African Studies Association. I served as Vice-Chair of the ALC in 1995-96 and ali Chair in 1996-97. I am the institutional representative for Columbia in the activities of the Cooperative Africana Microform Project (CAMP), at the Center for Research Libraries in Chicago, Illinois. Between 1995 and 1998, I served on the CAMP Executive. Also since 1994, I have served as the librarian for Columbia's Institute of African Studies, a Title VI National Resource Center for African Studies. Beginning in 1995, I became the coordinator of what has become a successful cooperative microfilming project, involving the National Archives of Senegal in Dakar, the Center for Research Libraries, and Title VI African studies centers. My commiunent to public service extends onto !he global Internet, as well. I am !he sole editor and writer of Columhia's annotated guide for African studies research on !he World Wide Web, "African Studies Internet Resources" Statement of Candidacy If elected to !he ASA Board, I will dedicate my efforts over !he next!hree years to working wi!h o!her board members to pursue !he following initiatives: 1. The ASA should take a more active role in promoting the dissemination of knowledge about Africa beyond !he campuses of American universities and coUeges. As a librarian and a historian of Africa, I would like to work wi!h o!her interested ASA members who wish to expand and diversify high-quality African studies texts, hibliographic reference, and image collections (in print and/or digital formal,» for American high school and undergraduate college classrooms and libraries. I have had some experience in developing supplementary course materials at Columbia in association wi!h faculty and !he Title VI teacher outreach program. 2. The ASA must become more assertive in reaching out to !he general American puhlic, !he media, and foreign policymakers. The ASA could do !his in at least !hree important and related ways. First, !he ASA could publish a short pamphlet briefly describing its activities and distribute it to media organizations, puhlic and small academic libraries, !he US House of Representatives and !he US Senate, American and foreign emhassies, and o!her professional organizations in !he United States, Europe, and Africa. The ASA-spollsored organizations could be called upon to assist in it" distribution. Second, and as soon a" possible, !he ASA ought to publish an up-to-date directory of its own membership (in print and/or on !he Internet) and make a fmn commitment to revise and reissue 1l1is directory every two or !hree years. Third, !he ASA ought to commission more publications (in print and on !he Internet) on major foreign policy issues relating to Africa for !he general public, perhaps in cooperation wi!h o!her foreign policy organizations, such as The Africa Policy Information Center (APIC), The Africa Fund, TransAfrica Forum, or The Council on Foreign Relations. 3. The ASA must find ways to increase cooperation with African scholarly organizations and research institutes, such as !he Council for !he Development of Social Science Research in Africa (CODESRlA) in Dakar, !he Organization for Social Science Research in Eastern and Sou!hern Africa (OSSREA) in Addis Ababa, and, !he Sou!hern Africa Political Economy Series (SAPES) Trust in Harare. Greater cooperation ought to be possible !hrough joint conferences, scholar and librarian exchange programs, joint publications, and joint campaigns to preserve and improve !he conditions of libraries, oral history projects, museums, and archives in Africa. 4. Finally, I am very interested in working wi!h other ASA members to insure good communieation and cooperation between !he ASA Secretariat, !he ASA Board, !he ASA-sponsored organizations, and !he o!her parties involved in !he organizing and running of !he Annual Meeting. AngeHque Haugerud Biographical Information As editor of !he journal Africa Icxlay (1996-1998), I have had !he pleasure of working wi!h dozens of extraordinarily talented scholars of Africa. Since 1996, I have been an associate professor in !he Graduate School of International Studies at !he University of Denver. Previously I was on !he faculty of Yale University, as a<;sociate professor (1993-1996) and a<;sistant professor (1988-1993) in !he an!hropology department. At Yale I served on !he Council on African Studies and was Director of Graduate Studies for !he African Studies M.A. program for several years. During the past decade I have taught courses !hat include material on African politics, e!hnography, social change, development, agrarian issues, and !he continent's changing position in a globalizing world. I received my PhD. in anthropology from Norlhwestern University and my B.A. in !he same discipline from !he University of Washington (Seattle). I have spent about six years doing research in East and Central Africa, including nearly four years in Kenya and two years in Rwanda, wi!h shorter stays in Burundi and informal visits to Senegal and Uganda. My research has focused on social change and development (especially rural economic transformations), cultural politics, urban-rural connections, agrarian ecology, and reconceptualizations of global/local connections. This work ha'i been funded by grants from the Social Science Research Council, Rockefeller Foundation, Yale University, Northwestern University. and the National Science Foundation. My publications include a book titled The Culture of Politics in Modem Kenya (Cambridge University Press, 1995), and a forthcoming volume on CouwlOdities and Globalization- Anthropological Perspectives (coedited). A volume in prepardtion, based on my research in Kenya during the pa'it two decades, addresses epistemological and theoretical issues in longitudinal research on wealth and poverty. Some of my other publications include "The Disappearing Local? Rethinking Global/Local Connections," in Ali Mirsepa'>si and Fred Weaver, eds., Revisioning the Area Studies Debates (forthcoming); "A • Comment on Method and Theory in the Study of Contemporary African Politics," in Mamadou Diouf. Catharine Newbury, and Pearl T. Robinson eds., Transitions in Africa: Expanding Political Space (forthcoming); and a number of articles and chapters on land tenure and agrarian change in Kenya and Rwanda. In 1997, I edited a special issue of the journal Africa Today on "The Future of Regiona.l Studies" (vol. 44, no. 2), to which I contributed an introductory overview of challenges and opportunities facing African Studies. I have served on the executive boards of the Association for Political and Legal Anthropology (1997-2000) and the Society for Economic Anthropology (1992-1995); and on the program committee of the American Anthropological Association. These positions have allowed me to help support Africa scholarship within my discipline's major professional organization. I have organized and chaired a numocr of panels focused on Africa scholarship at annual meetings of the African Studies Association ;Uld American Anthropological Association. Statement of Candidacy The ASA is a vibrant organization that ha" impressive capacities to shape scholarly and policy debate on Africa. If elected to the ASA Executive Board, my priorities would include activities focused on bridging the gulf between scholars in Africa and those in the United States. In this era of both renewal and economic hardship in African universities, we must foster genuinely collaborative research opportunities. widen access to outside funding sources, and build enduring linkages between African and North Am\!riGID universities and research centers. Book donations to African libraries are among the small steps we c,m take to assist scholars in Africa. As outgoing editor of Africa Today. I am coordinating a donation of about 100 recent books to the library of the University of Nairobi's Institute for Development Studies (an opportunity that has become possible as the Denver Africa Today library is disa<;sembled following the joumal\ move to Indiana University). I would also work toward im..:rea,ing the participation of Africans I am an Associate Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a joint appointment in the Afro-American Studies Department and the Women's Studies Program. I am also affiliated with the African Studies Program where I currently serve on the Planning Committec. Additionally, I am completing a threc year term as director of the Women's Studies Research Center. I have M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the Graduate School of International Studies (GSIS) at the University of Denver with concentrations in Comparative Politics, Human Rights and Africa. I also have an M.A. from the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) at the University of London where my concentrations included British Colonial West African History, Religions of Sub Sahara Africa and Social Change in Sub Sahara Africa. My BA was in Sociology and History at Spelman College. My involvement with ASA began when as a graduate student I coordinated the scheduling of panels for the annual mecting in Denver in 1987. I have also served as co-convenor of the ASA Women's Caucus 1993-94, 1994-95. Since then I continue to serve on the caucus stecring committee. My teaching and research interests are interdisciplinary and comparative, and focus on U.S. Black and African feminisms and Women's International Human rights. My most recent publication "Shades of Othering: Reflections on Female Circumcision/Genital Mutilation" appeared in the summer 1998 issue of ~. Other publications that may be of interest include Theorizing Black Feminisms: The Visionary Pragmatism of Black Women (1993) edited with Abena Busia and "UN Treatment of Multiple Oppressions: A Black Feminist Perspective" in The Journal of African Policy Studies Vol. 1 #1 1995. I was also guest editor of a special issue of Africa Today, "After the Women's Decade: The Task ahead for Africa" Vol. 37 #1, 1990. Finally, I appeared with Henry Drewal in a video entitled "The Roots of African Civilization" produced by Knowledge Unlimited in 1996. Candidacy Statement I wish to support the ongoing work of the ASA which I envision as including the provision of a forum for Africanists engaged in a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary research agendas. I also envision the ASA as an organization that can and should be prepared to provided critical information for effective and appropriate policy development in a range of venues (including for example the U.S. State Department and the UN). I would expect the board to continue to devote considerable attention to developing funding for two key programs to bring more African scholars from the continent and to send more books and journals to African libraries on a consistent basis. Perhaps the board might even explore the possibility of holding an annual mecting on the continent. If elected, I would bring to the ASA board three very useful interrelated skills: organizational skills; a capacity to work well with people from diverse backgrounds; and an ability to facilitate consensus building process. William G. Martin Biographical Information I received my B.A, from the University of Michigan, my M.A. and Ph.D, from SUNY Binghamton, taught at the University of Illinois from 1987 to 1999, and, as of Fall 1999, am Professor of Sociology, and Deputy Director for Research at the Femand Braudel Center, Binghamton University. My research and teaching have focused upon Africa's and particularly southern Africa's role in the world-economy, Africa's relationship with Europe and North America, US foreign policy towards Africa, and the historical construction of African and area studies. My African courses constantly grapple with these relationships and issues, with a more recent emphasis on global African concerns--as in new courses on Global Race/Africa or a transnational introduction to Africa course (these reflect my published essays on the teaching of Africa). I have also been continuously engaged in public mobilization and education efforts, including organizing special issues of the ACAS Bulletin and ASA's.I.S..S.l.lli (with Michael West). Organization posts related to this work include past-chair of the ASA Current Issues Council and present Co-Chair of the Association of Concerned Africa Scholars (ACAS). My most recent publications include Out of One. ManY Afrieas: Reconstructing the Meaning and Study of Africa (co-edited with Michael West; University of Illinois Press, 1999), "Constructive Engagement II, or Catching the Fourth Wave," IDa£k. ~ (forthcoming 1999) and "Waiting for Oprah and the New U.S. Constituency for Africa," Review of African political Economy (1998). I have had, among others, a Fulbright grant, and been a primary investigator on grants from the Ford Foundation (for training graduate students) and USIA (faculty exchange with the University of the Western Cape in the area of Africa/African-American studies). Statement of Candidacy My agenda, if elected, may be simplysta.ted: I would seek to address the critical question of how we build a larger, more equitable household for the study of Africa--and thus tap the public enthusia~m for things African that has been evident throughout the 1990s. In part this objective responds to well-known initiatives that move against the preservation of African area studies, much less attention to the continent and it'> people; in part this arises from protest'> by those who feel excluded, or perceive African studies as irrelevant to their interest in Africa. In the past few years the Association has irregularly grappled, often painfully, over issues of inclusion, race and power among Africanists and within the Association. I have tried, in small ways, to push this discussion forward on public panels and in print (see below). And these discussions need to continue. But we also need to be more open and proactive, if we are to talk and listen to the broad academic, and increasingly enthusiastic public supporters of Africa. What kinds of concrete activities might we think of pursuing in the coming years'? Four types come ea'iily to mind; I am sure there are more. One, we clearly need to engage large public debates on Africa, whether it be opposition to the Crane Africa bill and support for the Jesse Jackson Jr. HOPE bill, or placing in all our curricula the historical contributions of Africans, including North Africans, to the development of the US and Europe. Two, we should engage fellow scholars and teachers in African restoration initiatives, a'i in movemenL'i for an African holocaust monument in Washington, or reparations for enslavement and colonialism. Three, we should be proactive in ensuring more reciprocal and equitable relationships among those who fund and study Africa, both at home and abroad. Could we not imagine ASA assessments, as is done by other national associations, of efforts to decrealie gender and racial inequities? Or the development of ASA ethical guidelines, as is often done by national academic organizations, covering such issues ali CIA funding, relationships with African informants and researchers, or the necessity of meeting US ethical standards when in Africa for drug testing, survey research, etc.? Finally, we should consider collal~)rative initiatives with other African-relatcd associations, whether this be ajoint national meeting with the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History, joint projects with such organizations ali the Black Radical Congress, or meetings on the continent itself, with African collaborators, etc. Whatever list one generates, the critical point is quite straightforward: can we imagine a future where the Association stands at the forefront, and not a<; is all too often at the side of the great intellectual and public issues surrounding Africa and its relation to America? Ifwe are to flourish in the new millennium, such a renaissance in our perspectives and activities might welJ be in order. Celia Nyamweru Biographical Information In late July 1972, I was appointed the frrst member of the Departmem of Geography at the newly established Kenyatta University College in Nairobi and for the next 19 years I experienced first hand the realities facing higher education in Africa, serving ali Chair of the Department of Geography for six years and as Dean of the Faculty of Arts for two years. My educational perspectives and goals are also informed by professional contacts with other African universities: the University of Dar es Salaam, Makerere University, Chancellor College (Malawi), the University of Swaziland, and universities in Ghana and South Africa. Thus, I acquired a broad and solidly grounded sense of the professional. logistical andlinancial challenges facing scholars, administrators and studenL" that will enable me to make informed decisions on ASA initiatives concerning African universities. My administrative, research and teaching background straddles the natural and social sciences, making me well qualified to address multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary issues in setting research and curriculum development priorities. I received my BA and Ph.D. in Geography from Cambridge University, finishing in 1968 with a dissertation that examined sediments and landforms in the Lake Nakuru ba<;in, Kenya. Much of my teaching at Kenyatta University was in Physical Geography, but starting constraints also required me to teach courses on the human geognlphy of Africa. lbe knowlcdge I acquircd has formed the foundation for many courses that I now teach as Associate Professor of Anthropology and African Studies at St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York, where I have taught since 1991. These courses focus largely on the relationship between humans and the natural environment in Africa. At Kenyatta University my research was on African lakes and volcanoes, while for the last four years I have been doing research at the Kenya coast on the conservation of the sacred groves of the Mijikenda people. My publications include 17 articles in refereed scientific journals, 4 book chapters, numerous articles in popular journals and children's magazines, 5 elementary and high school textbooks, and a web site on Oldoinyo Lengai volcano. My eight years at St. Lawrence University has shown me the challenges facing area studies programs in small geographically isolated schools. As coordinator of the African Studies Minor for the last three years I drafted a program, now approved by the New York State Board of Higher Education, of African Studies Combined Majors with History, Economics, Anthropology and Government. I am a member of a university committee drafting a proposal for a Global Studies program, giving me more experience in locating African Studies in a broad academic context and recognizing the curriculum links that are most appropriate to our area of study. For five years I taught at the St. Lawrence University Kenya Semester Program in Nairobi. My experience there complements with the work I have done for the last eight years at the North American end of the program, actively involved in the selection and orientation of the student participants. In my view encouraging student academic visits to Africa is a key part of the duties of Africanist educators. Statement of candidacy 1. The American Africanist community, led by the ASA, must continue to maintain strong links with African universities, involving the African institutions as equal rather than junior partners. If elected, I would work to strengthen such links. One way to strengthen African universities is to reduce the 'brain drain' of talented scholars to American institutions. While recognizing the right of individuals to make their own decisions about their future, I believe that the ASA could initiate projects with African universities to ease the return to Africa for young African scholars. One way might be to set up mentoring programs with American scholars and institutions, that provide access to recently published books and journals, subsidized e-mail links and short study tours. 2. We need to recognize the special challenges that face women scholars and professionals in Africa, and the very real obstacles still set in the path of African girls' and women's educational careers. believe that we have a continued responsibility to provide support for African and Africanist women scholars, in Africa and in America. Among the diverse constituency represented in ASA African women are perhaps the least prominent. If elected, I would work to support projects like the Mentoring Program of the ASA Women's Caucus and to explore other initiatives with related goals. 3. The ASA should encourage inter- and multidisciplinary research and teaching on Africa, perhaps through panels at the annual meetings on topics linking the physical environment and human life. Examples might be the impact of global warming on Africa, management of the continent's wildlife, and Africa's vulnerability to environmental pollution from mining operations and dumping of industrialized countries' toxic waste. 4. I would like to see the ASA (possibly through the Association of African Studies Programs) forge institutional links with other area studies organizations like the Latin American Studies Association and the Association for Asian Studies. In the current era of globalization, Africanists should not be ignorant or unsupportive of the work of other area studies programs, and I would work to build cooperation along these lines. 5. The ASA should continue its support for academic programs taking American students to Africa, and promote communication between US institutions responsible for such programs. In an era of shrinking student numbers and continued negative news coverage of Africa, we need to share experiences and resources. The ASA should facilitate this, and act as a resource for American universities seeking to provide more study opportunities and funding for African undergraduate and graduate students. Improving the image of Africa in the US is also linked to the ongoing effort to secure funding to improve media representations of Africa in the US, which I strongly support. infonnation contact: Polly Sandenburgh, Af A The Seventh International Conference culture.
