Launch of the Research Committee on Comparative African Literatures
The work of the Research Committee on Comparative African Literatures is starting!
A Research Committee on Comparative African Studies / Literary Histories of Africa was approved in principle by the AILC-ICLA Executive Council in 2018, on the initiative of William Spurlin and Márcio Seligmann-Silva, to rectify a major gap in the AILC-ICLA research focus. The Committee was then established in 2019 with Wendy L. Belcher as Chair, soon joined by Brahim El Guabli as Co-Chair.
The committee has now defined its scope and is ready to start its work, with the new title of Research Committee on Comparative African Literatures.
Anyone interested in joining the Committee can contact Prof. Belcher at wbelcher@Princeton.EDU and Prof. El Guabli at be2@williams.edu.
