Final Call For Abstracts - The SOAS GLOCAL AFALA 2023, the GLOCAL African Assembly on Linguistic Anthropology 2023
(SCOPUS / ISI (AHCI / SSCI / CPCI / WOS) indexed)
The African Assembly on Linguistic Anthropology 2023, The (SCOPUS / ISI) GLOCAL AFALA, at the University of Nairobi, Kenya, on October 18-21, 2023,symbolizes a significant leap forward for Linguistic Anthropology, from the previous highly successfully attended GLOCAL AFALA conferences, to further problematize current perspectives and praxis in the fields of African Linguistic Anthropology, African Linguistics, and African Society. Conceptualized in 1998, the GLOCAL AFALA 2023 responds to concerns by those within Linguistics, Anthropology, Sociolinguistics, Sociology, Cultural studies, and centrally Linguistic Anthropology, pertinent to Africa, to significantly reduce the gap between focus on African regions and work by African scholars, a gap largely emanating from issues of funding and expertise. The GLOCAL AFALA 2023 will build on these efforts, and the global networks of African Linguistic Anthropology, to connect African with global Universities and their academics. Here, The (SCOPUS / ISI) GLOCAL AFALA 2023 will increasingly opportune academics to exchange knowledge, expertise, and valuable Linguistic and Anthropological data, through the interpersonal and inter-institutional networks that the GLOCAL AFALA conferences build. To ground these efforts, the Conference, with the University of Nairobi at the centre, and with major University Partner and co host SOAS, The School of Oriental and African Studies, at The University of London, will network a growing number of institutions globally, to support this much needed African yet fully global project.
Over 400 scholars globally will gather to present papers and to engage in progressive discussion on the Linguistic Anthropology, the Language and Society, and the Sociolinguistics, (and related fields) of Africa. The SOAS GLOCAL is a fully Non-Profit unit at SOAS, University of London, assisting scholars in impeded economic positions who require funding to access the Conference, and who display strong scholarly competence. The SOAS GLOCAL AFALA 2023 proceedings are SCOPUS / ISI (AHCI / SSCI / CPCI) indexed, thus contributing to ranked and cited publications for those accepted to present and publish. The SOAS GLOCAL AFALA 2023 will publish papers presented at the conference in High Impact Journal Publication Special Issues.

Abstract Submissions (Deadline) -
The Final Call For Abstracts is now open and closes on August 15, 2023
Theme -
Mazingira Ya Lugha, Hali Ya Hewa Ya Kitamaduni, the GLOCAL AFALA 2023 theme, symbolizes the complexity of inter-subjective identities throughout African (sib)urban centres. These complex climates offer a fertile ground for Linguistic Anthropological attention, for which scholars can draw from a range of pertinent fields, to study these geographic and cultural localities. The SOAS GLOCAL AFALA 2023 invites work that addresses the complexity of African Linguistic Anthropology and cultural climates. Papers and posters should acknowledge and describe processes of linguistic complexity at these African cultural centres.
