Call for papers: MIASA-PAPA Conference Sustainable Governance in Africa "The Usefulness of the Concept of Crisis"

The Merian Institute for Advanced Studies in Africa (MIASA) at the University of Ghana in Accra and the Pilot African Postgraduate Academy (PAPA) at Point Sud, are organizing, in collaboration with the Goethe University in Frankfurt (Germany), an international colloquium on the concept of crisis, widely used in African studies, from 7 to 9 November 2024 at the Point Sud, The Centre for research on local knowledge in Bamako (Mali).

The conference is part of an epistemological approach that involves questioning the relevance of concepts developed elsewhere, but with which African researchers are constantly called upon to work to analyze, describe and even imagine their environment.

The deadline for submission is 30 May 2024.
