The Sixth J. A. Atanda Lectures and Conference, Yoruba Culture and Society, Babcock University, June 21 – 23, 2021 (Deadline for Abstract Submission: March 30, 2021)
The 2021 Atanda conference intends to address core questions of decolonizing society in the contemporary context. For instance, how can the African (Yoruba) culture grow its influence, transmit values, and play decisive roles within current realities? How has the language been used since the nineteenth century to define Yoruba culture, mediate colonial modernity and globalization, and develop post-colonial urban cultures? Contributors are invited to send a short abstract of no more than 250 words on any of the above subject areas as well as a short bio by email to: atandaconference2021@babcock.edu.ng
