The two-week workshop will be held from July 20 – 31, 2015 in Nairobi, Kenya. The organizers, with a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, will cover all the costs of participation (including travel, lodging, meals, and materials) for up to 26 qualified applicants. The workshop will be conducted in English. The deadline for applications is March 15, 2015. Program information and application instructions can be found online at www.apsanet.org/africaworkshops. The upcoming workshop is the eighth and final conference in APSA's annual Africa Workshop program; previous workshops have been held in Botswana, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, Senegal, and Tanzania. By bringing together up to 22 Africa-based scholars, as well as four advanced PhD students from US-based universities, the program aims to support political science research and teaching in Sub-Saharan Africa and strengthen research networks linking US scholars with their colleagues overseas. While the event primarily caters to political scientists, it is also open to scholars from any social science discipline with research relevant to the workshop theme. Since 2008, approximately 200 African and US-based scholars have taken part in the workshop series. APSA, with support from the Mellon Foundation, covers all costs associated with participation. The 2015 workshop will be led by John Clark (Florida International University, USA), Pamela Mbabazi (Mbarara University of Science & Technology, Uganda), Kennedy Mkutu (United States International University, Kenya), and Beth Elise Whitaker (University of North Carolina at Charlotte, USA). The two-week program will examine research on the sources of armed conflict and mechanisms for resolving conflict. The course syllabus will situate research on African conflicts within the broader political science literature on peace and conflict to facilitate a dialogue between case-based and cross-national studies. The primary goal of the workshop is to support participants in publishing their research. I encourage you to consider this opportunity and share among your colleagues and networks.
