From http://www.risseascientificconference.org

THE INAUGURAL RISSEA INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE on Swahili Research and Development in Eastern Africa will take place 25th – 27th November 2010 at Mombasa, Kenya, Whitesands Beach Hotel.

The Institute appreciates that apart from inquiry into the Swahili peoples, the language, Kiswahili, has the potential to serve as a medium of economical, political, and social integration in the wider East African region hence the motivation to enhance inquiry and research into its structure, function and applicability. Indeed, the language has a role to play in the realization of Kenya’s Vision 2030 and other planning and policy strategies. The language is widely used for a variety of purposes including awareness creation and intervention in strategies at the grassroots hence it’s highly appreciated unifying role. As a result therefore, RISSEA spearheaded research should be appreciated for its role in contribution to the development of the nation and region economically, culturally and ethically; and the enhancement of uncontested African identity.

Deadline for submission of abstracts: 30th June 2010
