ACC scholars are organising different panels for the 10th European Conference of African Studies (ECAS) in June 2025 in Prague. The panels are under the Urban Studies stream and structured around the conference theme “AFRICAN, AFROPOLITAN, AND AFROPEAN BELONGINGS”.
About the theme: As a global gathering between scholars researching Africa, ECAS 2025 aims to engage with multiple African realities and entanglements. In particular, the conference in Prague aims to engage with complex trajectories, constructions, expressions, and performances of African, Afropolitan and Afropean forms of belonging and positioning. The past decades have seen a resurgence of identity politics all over the world and much of it has involved diverse African forms of belonging in a world where global North paradigms continue to be socio-economically, culturally and politically dominant. Considering the countless dimensions of human diversity constructed on the continent itself and within diverse diasporas, in physical and digital spaces, this conference aims to examine regionally specific struggles and how they impact on broader societies, cultures, multispecies ecologies, politics, and economies.
Submission date for papers: 15 December 2024
