> 2nd call for panels
>
> An initial call for panels at this conference filled well in excess of
half
> our allocated panel sessions. While not excluding other subjects, we would
now
> particularly welcome further proposals in the arts, history, gender,
> economics, development and sociology. Panels are expected to consist of
> four to five papers, with a chair and a discussant. Larger panels may be
> accommodated over more than one session. Initially, the Steering
Committee
> invites potential panel organisers to provide a title and some of the
names of
> participants to be considered for inclusion in the programme. A 50 word
> abstract and 250 word description should be included. If the panel can be
> accommodated, these materials * along with those from the first call for
> panels * will be posted on a conference website so as to issue a call for
> papers. Although proposals need not be wholly finalised yet, the materials
> should be in a form fit to be included in the call for papers. Panels may
be
> organised in any EU language, however, plenary contributions will be in
> English or French. Translation facilities are not envisaged.
>
> Graduate students interested in Africa are also encouraged by the Steering
> Committee to submit proposals for panels on subjects across the gamut of
the
> humanities and social sciences applied to Africa.
>
> The second call for panels closes 27 February 2004.
