Against the grain of global Africa-analysis, the second edition of the Dakar Translation Symposium: Africa and Her Globalization which will be held between June 13 and 19, 2023, fosters a global dialogue that is theoretical, cultural and imaginative, and brings together speakers and participants of national and international research capacities from various disciplines and across the arts who are invested in Africa and the Black diasporas.
This second symposium will explore some of the most urgent issues in the fields of Social Sciences and Humanities including literature, art-making, film, music, history, sociology, anthropology, economy, and law among others.
The symposium is a joint effort between the Institute for the Study of Global Racial Justice at Rutgers University, Assane Seck University in Ziguinchor, The Office of Inclusion and Equity at NYU Abu Dhabi, the NYU Office of Global Inclusion, Diversity, and Strategic Innovation (New York), Rutgers Global, Université Gaston Berger de Saint-Louis of Senegal and the African and Postcolonial Studies Laboratory at Cheikh Anta Diop University in Dakar, where the symposium will be held.
We invite and encourage proposals (abstracts) for this year’s symposium! Visit us here to read the full call for papers and participants. The deadline for abstracts has been extended until March 16, 2023.
