Title | Call for Papers: African Languages and the Disciplines |
Body | From http://www.alp.fas.harvard.edu African Languages in the Disciplines Conference dates: April 8 and 9, 2010 Harvard University, Cambridge, MA Indigenous African languages are vital to comprehending how sub-Saharan Africans understand, organize, and transmit essential knowledge to successive generations, both through oral and written traditions and through aesthetic practices. Additionally, African languages serve as road maps for identifying how social, political, and economic institutions and processes develop, from kinship structures, trade networks, and the law, to medical, educational, and agricultural sectors. This conference aims to bring together a diverse range of scholars across a variety of disciplines. Possible themes include, but are not limited to, the role of African languages in the study of literature, music, film, performance, visual arts, media studies, history, philosophy, religion, anthropology, sociology, gender studies, political science, psychology, economics, education, geography, environmental science, legal studies, and public health.
