The Council has selected the theme ‘The Social Sciences and “Pandemics” in Africa’ for this edition of its triennial General Assembly. The Assembly combines an academic conference with a business meeting where CODESRIA members discuss, among other things, the work of the Council and those “in good standing” elect a new Executive Committee.

The Council invites papers on the following themes: 

  1. Social Sciences and Humanities in times of crises
  2. Pandemics as metaphors of disruptions in society
  3. History, epidemics and pandemics
  4. Recreating the pandemic experience
  5. The pandemic and interdisciplinarity
  6. African perspectives on epidemics and pandemics
  7. Knowledge, arts and epidemics
  8. Writing about the pandemic
  9. Epidemics and inequalities
  10. Structure, agency and the evolution of epidemics
  11. The gendered dimension of epidemics and pandemics
  12. Pandemics, identity and the question of citizenship
  13. Disease, travel and movement
  14. Pandemics, labour and livelihoods in Africa
  15. Pandemics, epidemics and imperatives of social transformation
  16. The other contagions: beyond the biomedical
  17. Reflections on age and pandemics
  18. Pandemic in the digital age
  19. The media and the pandemic.

Those wishing to be considered for participation in the 16th General Assembly to present papers or as convenors of panels are invited to submit abstracts or panel proposals by 15 April 2023. The Council will contact authors of successful abstracts by 15 May 2023, expecting them to submit their papers by 15 July 2023. The Council will inform successful candidates by 30 August 2023. Abstracts for paper presentations should not exceed 500 words while panel proposals should not exceed 800 words. Each should clearly indicate the sub-theme in which the paper or panel is located.
