Updates for the ASA Annual Meeting

[senegambianstudies]

Dear Senegambian Studies Group listserv member,

 

On behalf of the board, I am writing to update you on two important items regarding the African Studies Association annual meeting in DC in November.

 

1. The submission/registration deadline has been pushed back to April 1 due to COVID-19 virus. We are still looking for more paper proposals for the two SGSG sponsored panels. Please see attached document for more information.
   

2. Individuals can now register for becoming official members of the Senegambian Studies Group (SSG) for an annual fee of $20, as determined by the organization’s by-laws.  The ASA has recently given to the Senegambian Studies Group the status of a coordinate organization. This will allow our members to pay for their dues to the group when they register for the annual conference. After they log on to ASA’s website, members can access the registration page here: https://myasa.africanstudies.org/subscription/fill/22

 

If you have any questions about either item, please let me (ihu...@gmu.edu) or SGSG President Babacar Mbaye (bmb...@kent.edu) know.

 

We hope that everyone stays well in this time of uncertainty.

 

Best wishes,

 

Babacar M’Baye, Ph.D.

President of the Senegambian Studies Group (SSG)
