Call for Chapter Contribution
Concept and Purpose
We are glad to inform you that a festschrift is being published in honour of Okpeh Ochayi Okpeh, Jnr, a Professor of African History, who will turn 50 years old on 12th December, 2018. Professor Okpeh is a quintessential and an accomplished scholar by all standards. Since joining the ranks as an academic in the Department of History, Benue State University, Makurdi, in 1995/96, he has remained focused, disciplined, committed, dedicated and steadfast to his chosen profession. At the commencement of his career, he operationalized a work philosophy and ethics that revolved round Spartan discipline and diligence; sacrifice and perseverance; and resolute commitment and dedication. His work ethics is demonstrated in the way he interrogates his subject matter and publishes his academic papers. Besides, the energy and zeal he exerts in teaching and researching, his quality of supervision at the undergraduate and post-graduate levels is unequalled. Due to his diligence, drive and appetite for scholarship, Professor Okpeh rose from the ranks to the exalted position of professor within the span of 15 years, making him one of the youngest and the fastest to accomplish this feet within the university community, especially in the North Central Nigeria.
Essentially, his academic and research interests straddle African History, Inter-Group and Conflict Studies, Historiography as well as Gender and Development Studies. In the course of engaging these themes and related research interests in the last two decades, he has published well over a hundred (100) scholarly essays in both national and international journals. This is in addition to contributing well over fifty (50) chapters to books. Professor Okpeh has also edited/co-edited over thirty books. Apart from mentoring several students and younger colleagues, he has also supervised scores of dissertations and Theses at post-graduate level and several projects at the undergraduate level. It is on record that a PhD Thesis he supervised in 2007 won the exalted National Universities Commission (NUC) best PhD Thesis Award in Humanities, 2007 (this is besides the several academic and excellence awards he has received within and outside the country). Throughout his career, he has distinguished himself as a consummate researcher, a hardworking scholar, and an administrator per excellence, who has not only contributed to knowledge, but also tremendously encouraged his colleagues in the teaching profession across disciplines.
It is in recognition of these invaluable contributions by Professor Okpeh that the editors of this volume are inviting scholars from various disciplines to submit well-researched academic papers for inclusion in a book of honour which will be published to commemorate his birthday. Chapter givers would be required to interrogate a wide range of issues around the following themes:
