The Department of Literature, Makerere University in conjunction with the Department of English at Stellenbosch University, South Africa will host the 2nd Eastern African Literary and Cultural Studies Conference as a follow-up of the East Africa at 50: A Celebration of Histories and Futures, held at the University of Nairobi in September 2013. The Conference will take place at Makerere University from 20th-22nd August, 2015. The initiative targets and invites literary and other cultural studies researchers and scholars, artists, journalists, and other cultural producers, who are interested in the greater Eastern Africa to reflect on the forces of nationalism, transnationalism, regionalism, transculturalism, globalism, geo-politics, mobility and other cultural processes that have been evolving in the region over the last millennium.
We invite abstracts (of no longer than 250 words) for papers that engage with the topics and issues above and related concerns. Preference will be given to those with strong Eastern African themes. Email your abstract to litconf@chuss.mak.ac.ug by 28th February, 2015.
