Recent years have seen a flourishing of student protests and epistemic debates around representation, inclusion, and equality in university institutions, teaching, and research.<\/p>\n<p>More than mere hashtags (#Whyismycurriculumwhite, #Feesmustfall, #Cadaanstudies, etc.), these movements and political moments reflect longstanding contestations over how knowledge and power are defined, distributed, and denied through \u2018academe\u2019, particularly in relation to Africa. They raise questions of access and opportunity routinely elided from \u2013 but integral to \u2013 formal academic discourse. Decolonizing discussions demand that scholars confront legacies of exclusion and oppression to strengthen the rigor and accountability of our teaching, research, and institutional spaces. These questions are not new. Rather, they remain at the forefront of our academic and professional enterprise, and underpin the legitimacy of our diverse endeavors.<\/p>\n<p>We aim to curate an interdisciplinary collection of\u00a0essays focused on issues related to decolonizing the academy. Papers should be grounded in original empirical or theoretical research, and can explore any topic related to decolonizing African studies, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Emancipatory teaching and research praxis;<\/li>\n<li>Research methods, ethics, epistemologies, and knowledge hierarchies;<\/li>\n<li>Political economy of knowledge and expertise in\/about Africa;<\/li>\n<li>Institutional processes, structures, and academic ecosystems of power;<\/li>\n<li>Practical solutions, initiatives, and movements for change, liberation, equality, or redress.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><strong>About Critical African Studies<\/strong>:<\/em><br \/>\nCritical African Studies seeks to return Africanist scholarship to the heart of theoretical innovation within each of its constituent disciplines. We invite directional papers that provoke critical debate, and take a fresh approach to key and emergent social, political and economic issues affecting Africa. In particular, we encourage pieces of critical inquiry that question or subvert long-held or widely assumed truths, especially concerning disciplinary boundaries.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Submit<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Submission guidelines<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Please submit the following to\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:critical.african.studies@ed.ac.uk\">critical.african.studies@ed.ac.uk<\/a>\u00a0by\u00a0<strong>1 January 2018<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Paper title<\/li>\n<li>Extended Abstract (&lt;800 words)<\/li>\n<li>Author bio (200 words)<\/li>\n<li>Full papers (optional at this stage) \u2013 Papers should be no more than 8,000 words in length, following the Author Guidelines available online at:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/action\/authorSubmission?show=instructions&amp;journalCode=rcaf20\">http:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/action\/authorSubmission?show=instructions&amp;journalCode=rcaf20<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition to traditional academic papers, we will also consider submissions of other forms of academic speech\/representation\/analysis, including but not limited to: poetry; music; theatre and performance art; photography and visual art.
