Dear Africanist Geographers, I write to draw your attention to the CFP for the African Studies Association (ASA) annual meeting in Washington DC on Dec 1-3 which I am helping to co-organize this year:
http://www.africanstudies.org/annual-meetings/call-for-proposals The overarching theme of this year's conference is "Bridging Policy, Scholarship and Representation in African Studies." A number of the subthemes at this year's conference are also being chaired by geographers, including: *Agriculture, Farming, and Food Security.* Chair: Tom Bassett, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign *Ecology, Environment, and Conservation.* Chair: Maano Ramutsindela, University of Cape Town *Cities, Growth, and Planning.* Chair: Francis Owusu, Iowa State University Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. The deadline for paper and session proposals is March 15, 2016. I note that the quality of this meeting has really improved over the past few years (as has the management of the ASA more generally) and we would like to see more geographers participate in this conference. All the best, Bill -- William G.
