Hi Cara,

Is this ASAP enough? I'd be happy to help out with any panel, but the
ones that would be the most germane and interesting for me are, in
order:

1. Local and transnational flows of texts, arts, narratives, ideas,
memories, cultures, symbols
2. Production, reception, and teaching of African texts, and images in
local and transnational contexts
3. African literature and arts in cyberspace
4. Globalization and effects of denationalization of the African nation-state
5. Class, culture, and specific environments as elements of
localization and/or transnationalization
6. Translocal agents and spaces (NGOs, tourism, religious movements,

solidarity groups, refugees, migrant hostels, diasporic neighborhoods,
etc.)

Thanks,
Ari
