CALL FOR PAPERS
"Black Faculty in the Ivy League: Where Do We Go From Here?"
October 22-23, 2004 Columbia University - New York
New York, NY (July 26, 2004) – In light of the 50th Anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education and the recent challenges to Affirmative Action, the Institute for Research in African American Studies is hosting Black Faculty in the Ivy League: Where Do We Go From Here?, an interdisciplinary conference scheduled for October 22-23, 2004.
African-Americans began to enter Ivy League Institutions in larger numbers following the social unrest of the 1960's and the assassination of Martin Luther King. This conference will not be a self-congratulatory occasion; instead it provides us the opportunity to provide reflective, critical and forward thinking analysis. Some of the issues we hope to address include, but are not limited to, the following:
We welcome abstracts for individual papers, panels, roundtables or workshops. Please create a title page for your submission that includes the following: title, presentation format, name of presenter(s), institutional affiliation (if appropriate; we also welcome submissions from independent scholars), mailing address, email address, phone number and fax number.
***Abstracts should be submitted by August 1, 2004***
Presenters will be notified by September 1, 2004.
Please submit abstracts to
Mr. Russell Malbrough
Institute for Research in African American Studies/Columbia University
1200 Amsterdam Avenue, Mail Code 5512
New York, New York 10027
