Co-hosted by the Universidade de Cabo Verde (Uni-CV).

The ASAA 2025 conference theme “African Responses to Global Vulnerabilities: Building Hope for the Future” will explore how forms and articulations of African agency have shaped collective histories, cohabitation, dignity, knowledge, sovereignty, violence, survival, and hopes for imaginaries of better futures. They are particularly interested in unpacking intersections between the past, the present, and the future in tackling challenges of vulnerabilities, enunciations of resilience, and expectations of resolution.

Submission deadline: 15 March 2025
