African Diaspora Studies
and the Disciplines
An international symposium to be held 23-26 March 2006 in Madison, Wisconsin. |
|
The study of the African diaspora has become a vibrant area of research and teaching in recent years across disciplines. Few efforts have, however, been made to clearly situate, delineate, and reflect on the practice of diaspora scholarship within the possibilities and constraints afforded and imposed by the disciplines. Interdisciplinary dialogue on the theoretical contours of the African diaspora is even rarer. In order to begin filling these significant gaps, the African Diaspora and the Atlantic World Research Circle at the University of Wisconsin brings together leading scholars in over a dozen disciplines for a three-day international symposium.
