- 2004 Africana Studies Conference
- Conference Description
 |
Throughout time, humans have crisscrossed the globe in attempts to share, trade, and conquer. Despite this constant in human history, many see our present time as the "age of globalization." The last decade particularly has seen a proliferation of popular and academic discourse on this phenomenon. Despite the pervasiveness of activities and material, very little of the discussion has addressed the African world in general, and the African-American community specifically. The Central Pennsylvania Consortium (CPC) intends to address this lacuna through the 2004 African American Studies Conference entitled "Globalizations and the African World." The intention of the organizers is to invite artists and academics to investigate various epochs of globalization, and the impacts of and on people of African descent. The conference will be organized in a series of panels, an opening plenary and a number of performance events that will address the issues from a variety of disciplinary and artistic traditions. The expectation of the conference organizers is that the contributions to the conference will then be published in an edited volume. |
