  Accaparement des terres

 

Deux conférenciers, Roy Culpeper et Samuel Bonti-Ankomah de CELADA donnerons un aperçu de l’organisation (qui doit être formalisée) et de l’accaparement des terres qui se recoupe avec les questions d’équité et de durabilité en Afrique, au moment où le continent est en transition d’une agriculture traditionnelle vers une agriculture plus industrielle et commerciale. Par la suite, Sibiri Sawadogo commentera les présentations et suggèrera quelques questions.

Child Soldier with Jessica Dee Humphreys and Michel Chikwanine

Where:Christ Church Cathedral414 Sparks St.
When: October 27 at 12:00pm

“If you ever think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping in a room with a mosquito…”

Michel Chikwanine was five years old when he was abducted from his schoolyard soccer game in the Democratic Republic of Congo and forced to become a soldier for a brutal rebel militia. Against the odds, he managed to escape and find his way back to his family, but he was never the same again.

After immigrating to Canada, Michel was encouraged by a teacher to share what happened to him in order to raise awareness about child soldiers around the world, and this book is part of that effort.

Told in the first person and presented in a graphic novel format, Child Soldier: When Boys and Girls Are Used in War presents the gripping story of Michel’s experience. A moving and unsettling account, as told by writers Jessica Dee Humphreys and Michel Chikawanine and artist Claudia Dávila.

Join us for a session on a topic sure to engage young and old on global social justice, conflict, children’s rights and even bullying.

Call for Papers-Africa Conference

Conference

Word, Image, and Power in Africa and the African Diaspora

Organized jointly by the College of New Rochelle, New Rochelle, NY and Manhattanville

College, Purchase, NY

April 1 & 2, 2016

In his 2003 essay “How to Write about Africa,” Binyavanga Wainaina parodies the representation of Africa that has pervaded the literary and cinematic production of Westerners reacting to Africa. These words and images are holdovers from a colonial perspective that saw the continent and its people as the embodiment of the “heart of darkness” (Conrad). These views  posit the entire continent as forever lagging behind and, in the words of Wainaina, always seem to focus on the following figures: “the Starving African, who wanders the refugee camp nearly naked, and waits for the benevolence of the West. Her children have flies on their eyelids and pot bellies, and her breasts are flat and empty.” Increasingly, these imaginings veil and distort the realities of a continent that is constantly in flux and in the process of numerous changes.

African writers and artists, in their attempt to change this static vision, have set about re-writing Western views of Africa. They deal with issues like political oppression, the student protests in Senegal and Burkina Faso and the Arab spring, to name but a few of the upheavals that the continent has recently experienced. They also define Africa and Africans within the world in terms of Taiye Selasi’s coinage of the term “Afropolitan”, which aims at capturing the experiences of diasporic subjects. Africa, as a continent experiencing steady economic growth and the rise of a middle class, demands new perspectives.

This two-day conference will take place on Friday, April 1st at the College of New  Rochelle and Saturday, April 2, 2016 at Manhattanville College. We invite papers on this emerging vision of Africa and re-writing of Western views of Africa and the African diaspora.
Abstracts of 250 words should be sent to Professor Nahed Noureddine at nnoureddine@cnr.edu

Languages of the Conference: English and French.
Possible Topics:

Images of diasporic subjects

Afropolitan vs Cosmopolitan

African art

African cinema

Graphic novels and bandes dessinées

Civil and religious unrest in Africa

Epidemics and their aftermath

The Arab/African Spring

African music

Student Protests

Pan Africanism

Gender and sexuality

The future of African Literature

Women writers in the development of African literature and society

Human Rights

African Francophone Literatures and Cultures

This conference is sponsored by the Departments of English, World Languages and Literatures, Art History, Political Science, and the African Studies and International Studies Programs at Manhattanville College, the Department of Modern and Classical Languages and the International Studies Program at the College of New Rochelle, and the Westchester Consortium for International Studies (WCIS).

Call for Applications- R2HC Consultant Opportunity: Ebola Review

To respond to the Ebola epidemic in West Africa a special funding window was launched through the R2HC programme. The aim was to fund research that would produce robust findings that could contribute to the effectiveness of the outbreak response and help to draw lessons for future outbreaks of Ebola and other communicable diseases. The Call for Proposals generated significant interest with numerous research projects receiving funding.

Now ELRHA is commissioning a review to demonstrate the value of conducting research during a serious epidemic outbreak by documenting the achievements of the R2HC-funded Ebola research projects.

If you’re interested in this opportunity please see the Terms of Reference here.

Deadline for applications is the 21st of October.

Call for Applications-Carnegie African Diaspora Fellowship Program

Applications are now being accepted through
December 8, 2015
for the Fall 2015 competition of the Carnegie African Diaspora Fellowship Program.

 

  • Public and private higher education institutions in Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa and Uganda, accredited by the national agency in their country, can submit a project request online to host a scholar.
  • Scholars born in Africa, who live in the United States or Canada and work in an accredited college or university in either of those two countries, can apply online to be placed on a roster of available candidates for a fellowship. Scholars must hold a terminal degree in their field and may hold any academic rank.

Links to the African host institution project request application, scholar roster application and guidelines are all posted on the program website, http://www.iie.org/en/Programs/Carnegie-African-Diaspora-Fellows-Program/How-to-Apply.
Selection decisions for the first round will be in March 2016; project visit can begin as early as May 2016.

Activities: African host institutions can request that the scholar participate in mutually beneficial projects in curriculum co-development, research collaboration and/or graduate student mentoring and training. The CADFP Advisory Council seeks applications for innovative projects, and specifically encourages projects that involve collaboration among multiple institutions or from groups of faculty who are addressing related topics.  As a way of solidifying links that have already been developed between host institutions and visiting scholars, the council also plans to award some fellowships to faculty members who are alumni from the first two years of the program.

Process:  Prospective African host institutions and fellows (scholars) can cooperate in designing a project that the institution submits. An institution may, but is not required to, name a proposed scholar in a project request. Both the proposed scholar and the project request are subject to evaluation by a review committee and approval by the program Advisory Council.
Scholars submit their information online for the roster. The Institute of International Education (IIE) maintains and searches the roster for one or more possible matches, according to the discipline specializations, expertise, activities and objectives described in a project request.
Fellowship:  Projects can be conducted in the African host country for 14-90 days. For the fellowship, the African Diaspora Fellow will receive:

  • $200/day stipend
  • visa costs
  • limited health insurance coverage
  • round-trip international air travel and ground transportation costs to and from home and the U.S./Canadian airport.

IIE manages the fellowships and payments to fellows. Host institutions are encouraged to provide cost-share for the fellow’s meals, lodging and in-country transportation during the project
