We are a coordinate organization of the African Studies Association and hold conference panels and our annual business meeting at the ASA’s annual meeting.
Each February, we invite our community to submit an abstract for the November meeting. We review individual papers for panels and plan a roundtable for more informal debate and exchange on current events.
The Annual Conference allows you to receive in-depth feedback on your research and initiatives from a community of people with deep connections to the Congo. The conference is also a space to hear from people who are implementing initiatives at community and national level to contribute to national transformation. Many of us have partnerships with Congolese institutions and travel to Congo annually or very often. Presenters do not have to have a teaching appointment to seek an opportunity to present on a CSA panel or roundtable. We actively seek new voices to enrich our community.
