Call for Papers: African Global Experiences
Africology: The Journal of Pan African Studies (formerly The Journal of Pan African Studies;
JPAS), a trans-disciplinary on-line peer reviewed scholarly journal devoted to the intellectual
synthesis of research, scholarship and critical thought on the African experience around the
world, is seeking contributions for a special edition that aims to explore the full scope of the
African world. We are especially seeking to broaden our scope of diasporic African content. To
this end, we are seeking submissions from all disciplinary fields of academic inquiry, including
the arts, humanities and social sciences, interdisciplinary studies, STEM-related fields (science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics) as well as Africology (i.e., African Diaspora Studies,
African Studies, Africana Studies, African American Studies, Afro-American Studies, Black
Studies, Pan African Studies, etc.). The non-exhaustive relevant topics sought for this special
edition include the main topic as well as the following subtopics:
- Reports on international study experiences
- The process of merging African American Studies and African Studies
- Historically Black College and University (HBCU) international partnerships
- Partnerships with institutions of higher learning and/or community agencies in Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America, Europe, Asia, or the Pacific that serve African peoples
General Information:
Africology: The Journal of Pan African Studies (A:JPAS) seeks work that: present original
research methods/theory, add to a body of research, announce research findings, guide future
research, explore theories, distribute new knowledge, present new ideas, invite discussion,
introduce research reviews, and provide new Africology centered concepts and terminology.
Hence, submitted articles should have: an introduction, literature review (annotated
bibliographies accepted), a methodological construct, results, discussion, conclusions, and
suggested steps for further research that can intellectually engage scholars, students and others
with interest in African world community studies. In 2011 JPAS received the National Council
for Black Studies Fannie Lou Hamer & Kwame Nkrumah Award for Outstanding Academic
Leadership and Service in the African World.
Frequency:
A:JPAS is published four times a year in March, June, September, and December, with
occasional supplemental special issues.
Indexing:
A:JPAS is indexed via Academic OneFile, EBSCO, Google Scholar, International Index to
Black Periodicals, Literature Resource Center, ProQuest, Social Sciences Full Text
(WilsonWeb), Thompson Gale, World History Collection, etc.
Terminology:
A:JPAS seeks to use an affirmative African centered logic and language of liberation, therefore,
we have decided not to use the term 'tribe' or slaves in reference to the African experience. We
ask that all contributors acknowledge this policy before submitting content. Hence, the preferred
alternative terms-concepts include 'ethnic group' and 'the enslaved'. Second, in regards to the
use of the word black, when it is used to indicate people of African heritage, we recommend that
it be capitalized. And last, in regards to describing Africa, the now popular 'sub-Saharan Africa'
designation is discouraged; thus, our preferred description is 'Africa south of the Sahara desert'
or simply, 'Africa south of the Sahara'.
Publishing Language:
The major publishing language of A:JPAS is English. However, contributions in languages other
than English are acceptable when also presented in English.
Submission:
All contributions must address the guest editor of the special edition ([email protected]) in a
cover letter stating: your name, current public affiliation, location, e-mail address, the title of
your contribution, the originality of your contribution, that your contribution is not under
consideration anywhere, and that you wish to publish in Africology: The Journal of Pan African
Studies. Thereafter, contributors must submit their contribution to the guest editor
([email protected]) in MS word in a Times New Roman typeface via an attachment in an e-
mail (etiquette: avoid capitalizing every word in the subject line). The entire work should not
exceed 25 double-spaced pages with a concise title, abstract, and current standard citations and
references. Within the contribution, do not include page numbers or the title of your contribution
on each page; all graphics (charts, tables, photos, etc.) must fit our page measurements; only use
endnotes in your contribution (not footnotes), a list of references are needed for each
contribution, and in regards to style (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.), use the style most relevant to
your area of study.
From Submission to Being Published:
Respond to this call with "African Global Experiences" in the subject line to
[email protected]. The deadline for receiving papers is February 21, 2018. Notices of
acceptance will be issued on March 21, 2018. Should corrections or additions need to be made to
your contribution, the guest editor will inform you. The special edition will be published in July
2018.

CFP: 29th Annual Cheikh Anta Diop International Conference in Philadelphia
The Diopian Institute for Scholarly Advancement (DISA) presents the
29th Annual Cheikh Anta Diop International Conference
Friday and Saturday, October 21 and 22, 2016
Wyndham Philadelphia Historic District
"Afrocentricity in Visionary Conversations with African/Black Radical Intellectualism and Afro-Futurism"
The African world is thriving in spite of bearing witness to dystopic and threatening political, social, and cultural change and upheaval. Society is responding to reassertions of supremacist thought, ethos, insanity, and regression, and there is a caution to avoid a pessimist trap. In challenging chronophobia, known as a fear of the future, African people continue to maintain and pursue not only optimum liberation but also a technological awareness updated from past ingenuity to present creative consciousness. This year's conference welcomes papers that explore the traditions and praxis of Afrocentric thought with a particular innovation based on the paradigm's visionary conversations with sources from the broad inheritance of African/Black radical intellectualism and contemporary Pan-African frameworks of Afro-futurism. As the conceptualization of African freedom will never become stagnant, this year's conference solicits cutting-edge and future-building idea formation to help order responses to the present condition of African people, saturated with the culture's tools of victorious consciousness and preservationist acuity. This year's conference aims to generate discourses of reflection and imagination by advancing research that consider what cultural tools and techniques we have generated that will be useful and effective for African people's future needs. Papers should reflect the highest critical consciousness of Afrocentric and African-centered epistemologies of the discipline of Africana Studies. Participation is highly competitive.
Formal, 250-word ABSTRACTS are due by August 15, 2017
