This emphasis on humanities complements other Five College African Studies initiatives which include a conference on the literature of childhood in Africa at Smith College mid October, this year’s Amherst College Copeland Fellowship theme of Art and Identity in the Global Community and a UISFL-funded curricular development project focusing on performing culture in the Spring.

The scholars will be introducing their work to faculty on Friday September 14, 2007 at the Five College African Studies Faculty Council meeting in the Mullins/Farber room, Valentine Hall, Amherst College from 1:30 to 3pm. For more information on the scholars you can read their bios on the ASP web site.
