The African Studies Association of Africa (ASAA) was formed in 2013 during the climax of the 50th anniversary celebration of the Institute of African Studies at the University of Ghana with the aim of advancing knowledge about African cultures and peoples of Africa and the diaspora. The association is built on the vision of Kwame Nkrumah, first president of Ghana, to study African societies and experiences in an African-centered way. The association invites expressions of interest from institutions of higher learning, Think Tanks or other sites of intellectual engagement in Africa to co-host the next biennial conference to be held in October 2019. Information on ASAA and its previous conferences can be accessed at the ASAA website: http://www.as-aa.org/
