PRESS RELEASE
The Final Program of LSA 2024
THE LSA is pleased to release the Final Program of its annual Conference, featuring about 200 panels. Between June 25 and 29, over 1,000 scholars and practitioners from 173 international and 110 Nigerian affiliations will participate, physically or virtually, in Nigeria’s biggest academic conference.
As always, the conference is open and free to all audience, attending physically and virtually. Just click on the Zoom links embedded in each session to access 17 professional development workshops on book and journal publishing, academic job hunting, women in academia, teaching pedagogy, fellowship application and grant writing, and graduate school application and experience, among others; roundtables on 18 books that are at the cutting edge of scholarship in the humanities and social sciences; three film screenings; dance performances, and critical-celebratory panels on very senior scholars and canonical works that laid the foundation of newer studies. Dozens of panels on original paper presentations offer new perspectives on a spectrum of fields and subfields.
All the sessions of LSA 2024 are accessible, free of charge, because of the unpaid labour and intellectual investment of LSA members, journal and book acquisition editors, and senior scholars facilitators; infrastructure support of the University of Lagos; and funding from The British Academy, Florida International University, Yale University, Canada Research Chair in Youth and African Urban Futures, Cadbury Endowment at the Department of African Studies and Anthropology (University of Birmingham), The UK Arts and Humanities Research Council, African Studies Association of the United Kingdom, Ben Gurion University of the Negev, Kansas African Studies Center (University of Kansas), and The French Institute for Research in Africa (IFRA-Nigeria).
