Call for panel proposals: 12th Iberian Congress of African Studies

ICAE12 "African responses to the decolonial dilemma"

The twelfth edition of the Iberian Congress of African Studies (CIEA) on "African responses to the decolonial dilemma" will be held on 29, 30 and 31 January 2025 at the University of Barcelona.

The congress invites to explore the African role in the constitution of a global society that can only be inclusive and real id it assumes diversity. The “decolonial dilemma” highlights the difficulties arising from the dominance of the “Western component” in the management of difference. In this sense, the long experience of African cultural pluralism is an essential asset to facilitate coexistence and mutual enrichment based on the multiple memories and dynamics that converge in globalization.

Panel proposals related to any field of African Studies, beyond the conference theme, will be accepted.

Submission deadline: 15 May 2024
