CONFANN: The Igbo and Its Diaspora: Interrogating Culture, History, and Identity March 30, 2006

Fourth International Conference on Igbo Studies: A Tribute to Don Ohadike
Location: District of Columbia, United States

Venue: Howard University, Washington, DC, March 31 to April 1 2006

Theme: The Igbo and Its Diaspora: Interrogating Culture, History, and Identity

The 4th International Conference on Igbo Studies highlights the central role of culture in Igbo life, history and identity. In choosing this theme we hope to foster contributions that explore the concept of Igbo culture, history, and identity in varying and transforming ways. Papers exploring various disciplinary and inter-disciplinary approaches are particularly welcome. We also welcome contributions that examine the formation and transformation of Igbo culture and identities at individual, group, national, and transnational levels in Africa and the Diaspora. Contributions should strengthen existing dialogue on Igbo Studies. Submissions from graduate students and community activists are welcome. The proceedings of the conference will be published in 2007.
