Institutions: Creativity and Resilience in Africa; CfP, 60th annual ASA meeting, Chicago, 16-18 November 2017
The 2017 annual meeting of the African Studies Association marks the 60th anniversary of the ASA. The association is responsible, in part, for institutionalizing the study of Africa in the United States, advocating for informed policy, and building dialogue and exchange with Africa-based scholars and institutions. The 60th anniversary offers a moment for critical reflection on what and who we are as an institution.

Stephen Ellis Bibliography
Two countries and a continent: In remembrance of Stephen Ellis (1953-2015)
by Jos Damen (ASC Librarian)
Stephen Ellis had roots in two European countries, but he was fascinated by a much larger continent, Africa. The fascination started as early as 1971, when he was a teacher in Cameroon. The two countries were the UK and the Netherlands: born and raised in Britain, Stephen worked much of his professional life in The Netherlands where he lived with his Dutch partner Gerrie ter Haar. […] I hope that this bibliography makes all his works even more accessible to readers.
