CALL FOR PAPERS

26th Annual Meeting

26-28 October 2008

Hosted by Millersville University, PA and the ATWS

 

Theme:

Voices of the Subaltern

 Identities, Hierarchies and Social Struggles in a Globalizing Age

 

We are pleased to invite proposals for presentations that engage marginalized identities, socio-economic & political silencing and resistance, and that expose the complex relationships between power and the dispossessed. Participants are encouraged to rethink strategies for success in global struggles for peace, justice, rights and development and to reconstruct local and global agendas from the positioning of the oppressed. Papers and Panels from all academic disciplines that deal with the study of Africa, Asia (except Japan), Latin America/Caribbean, the Middle East and their Diasporas are welcome.
