ASAUK Newsletter, July 2018 (original) (raw)
Update on the ASAUK Conference I am absolutely delighted that with over 1,200 abstract submissions, the 2018 Conference of the African Studies Association of the UK, to be held on 11-13 September at the University of Birmingham, promises to be the largest ASAUK Conference yet. In addition to over 50 thematic streams, the Conference will include many stand-alone panels, roundtables, film presentations, and book launches. As well as UK-based delegates, we are expecting high numbers of scholars from North and South America, Europe, Asia and, of course, Africa, and the conference keynote address will be given by Kenyan and South African public intellectual Professor Grace Musila from Stellenbosch University.

Since becoming ASAUK President, I have become more aware of the extraordinary range of institutions, Centres, Journals, research groups and NGOs connected with Africa Studies in the UK. A growing number of universities have centres, degrees or networks linked to many different disciplines. The scale of seminars and conferences, and the number of submissions to journals, seems to be increasing. In addition to the RAS, Chatham House runs a regular programme of speakers in London. The British Academy Africa Panel, International Africa Institute, the ACU, the Africa Unit, British Council, INASP, DFID and others all have ideas and aims which in some part run in parallel to ours: to promote African Studies in the UK; to expand scholarships, research and training possibilities; to develop partnerships with African institutions and academics. ASAUK office-holders are trying to meet these key organisations, and we are incorporating representatives from some of them onto the ASAUK Council. Coordinating all of this exciting, decentralised activity is impossible, and many others have far larger resources. But we can, as a national organisation, play some role in facilitating connections and working around a few concrete aims. The Newsletter provides some nationwide information and Website, when fully operational, will expand our capacity on this front. My energies are going into partnership research schemes (pioneered and funded by the British Academy Africa Panel), Teaching Fellowships, and the Journal Writing Workshops.
