Perspectives On Africa And The World September 25th & 26th Irvine Auditorium, Amado Recital Hall : 34th and Spruce Streets, Philadelphia, PA 19104 map of location >> Online registration is closed, but the panels are still open for new attendees. If you would like to attend any of the sessions, please use onsite registration at the above address. The conference will present new research that examines social, political, and economic conditions in Africa beginning in the World War II era through the periods of independence, the Cold War and leading up to the present day problems of war and disease. The conference will serve as the basis for a special volume of The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science on Africa to be published in 2010. For decades, The Annals has been on the leading edge of multidisciplinary scholarship examining conditions on the African continent, including Thorsten Sellin's 1956 volume on Africa and the Western World to later volumes on Africa in Motion (1964), Africa in Transition (1977) and International Affairs in Africa (1987.) It is our hope to continue this tradition in the 21st century.
