Mid-America Alliance for African Studies
(MAAAS)
The Mid-America Alliance for African Studies (MAAAS) is an organization for the promotion of African Studies in mid-America, including in particular the region between the Mississippi River and the frontal range of the Rocky Mountains. Founded at the University of Kansas in 1995, MAAAS seeks to encourage scholarship and teaching in African Studies regionally and sub-regionally through conferences, seminars, workshops, consortia, faculty and student exchanges, cooperative relations between libraries, and promotion of African language teaching, among other endeavors. MAAAS is open to all with an interest in scholarship and teaching within an African Studies focus, and it seeks especially to provide a forum for far-flung Africanists in the middle of the U.S., where great distances exist between relatively small pockets of African Studies enthusiasts.
The 2008 MAAAS Conference is looking for papers! If you are interested in submitting, the deadline is August 1, 2008. Futher information is available HERE!
Also now available, Mid-America Alliance for African Studies Ken Lohrentz Graduate Paper Award!
