Seeking professional news from members of the Senegambian Studies Group

[Sene-Gambian Studies]

Dear Members of the Senegambian Studies Group (SGSG),

 

The Executive Board of the Senegambian Studies Group (SGSG) would appreciate it if members of the organization could send us their current professional news that we could post at the organization’s website. The website (which can be accessed at https://senegambianstudies.wordpress.com/) is quite recent and is intended to serve as a means to disseminate news about SGSG members’ important accomplishments such as their current and forthcoming publications, awards, delivered papers, organized conferences, workshops, and symposia, as well as other achievements and projects. The professional news could be sent to my attention, as Microsoft Word documents, preferably in the form of one or more short paragraph(s), at this following email address:

 

bmb...@kent.edu

 

Sincerely,

 

Babacar

Dear Babacar,

Thank you and the entire EB for a job well done. 

I went through the website very quickly and had a couple of suggestions to you:

1. Add more information about the members of the EB. At least you could add the institution of affiliation for each board member.

2. I would strongly suggest that we change the photograph showing on the home page of the website. The picture is very touristy. Instead of these “pirogues” we could have a composed image that best represents the diversity of Senegambian societies. 

Once again, hearty congrats for such a great job. 

Best,

Ibra Sene

Dear Babacar,

If you would like information about recent publications, my article on pesticide history is now available online and there's a blog about it too. Here's the announcement I'm posting on Facebook.

On jaaraama! Jerejef bu bakh! Je vous remercie toutes les personnes au Sénégal et en France qui m'ont aidé dans mes recherches. Voici
l'article (“fast-track”) sur l'histoire des insecticides dans le revue Environment and History. Je traduirai un résumé en français, et éventuellement pulaar, plus tard, inchallah. Merci
pour votre patience.

Thank you Sarah for sharing such wonderful professional news. Congratulations!

We will post the information on the website of the Senegambian Studies Group.

I encourage every member of the group to do the same.  We need to know and celebrate one another's accomplishments and learn from them.

Gratefully,

Babacar
