This interdisciplinary conference seeks to explore the multiple dimensions of Islam in global Africa. We invite scholars to submit papers focusing on how the meaning of Islam and what it means to be African and Muslim and how it is being negotiated at the intersection of local, regional and global encounters, narratives, perceptions and exchanges.

Paper proposals should be sent to isita@northwestern.edu on or before February 19, 2018. Proposals should include an abstract of no more than 300 words and a title, as well as the author’s name, email address, and institutional affiliation.
