Agrarian South Network, hosted by the African Institute for Agrarian Studies (AIAS).
January 18 to 22, 2016 in Harare , Zimbabwe.
How does it work?
The summer school is a five days full time plenary event where participants are encouraged to present, listen and debate about their struggles, work, research and advocacy connected to the present processes of rural and agrarian transformations in the South.
The aim of the school is to bring together the diverse experiences of movements, NGO’s, policy makers and academics in order to strengthen our capacities of understanding the current conjuncture.
To present a paper you must submit a title and a short abstract (10 lines), suggesting in which session should your work be allocated (Progressive Rural Social Forces or General Issues).
To present reports of policies, interventions and struggles you only need to provide a title that describes the general content of the presentation.
Deadlines:
Paper proposals – 30/August/2015
Reports – 30/October/2015
All prospective participants regardless of being presenters or not must confirm their participation by 01/November/2015.
Funding may be available.
For questions and to submit, please contact Marcelo Rosa (marceloagsnet@gmail.com) or Walter Chambati (wsschambati@hotmail.com)

Held at the University of Cambridge (Robinson College) from September 7 to September 9, 2016.

While we are not attempting to give the conference an overarching ‘theme’ it is possible for individuals, journals, centres and networks to offer a series of panels (3 or more) on particular topics so that there can be sequential debate through the conference.

Those wishing to organise streams should contact the conference administrator, Dorian Addison, directly conference2016.cambridge@gmail.com
Call for panels and papers is now open. For additional information click here.

This post in South Africa will build on the excellent work done by our first two researchers in this post, Khanya Mncwabe (2012-present) and Abiola Okpechi (2007-2012 – our first researcher in Africa).  It will also present the appointed researcher exciting opportunities to take our organization in innovative directions, and drive change by identifying points of leverage to support embedding human rights in companies’ business models, and by empowering workers and communities impacted by business.  The new researcher will join an experienced team of two other Africa researchers (based in Dakar and Nairobi) who cover other parts of the continent, and 11 other regional researchers based in other parts of the world, who complement our staff in London and New York to form our global team.
