I International Congress for Young Researchers on Africa
4 October 2019
Nanou Ki Association, specialized in sustainable development
and human rights, in collaboration with the University of Valladolid, convenes
the First Congress of Young Researchers on Africa as a meeting place for all
those interested in sharing their knowledge with the academic community. After
the experience of the two previous editions of the Congreso Formativo en
Cooperación Internacional (currently Congreso Formativo en Desarrollo
Sostenible–CoDeS–), there is now a need to organize an Academic Congress that
welcomes students, academics and professionals interested in research and the
dissemination of African Studies. The organization will accept contributions
that examine the local, regional, national and international dimensions of issues
related to this subject. This will serve as a framework for reflection in which
interdisciplinary studies can be accommodated. Since this Congress is part of
the III CoDeS, the theme will revolve around the national and international
policies imposed on African countries and the resistance generated against
those policies.
This Congress will be held at the University of Valladolid on 4 October 2019 and will form part of the III CoDes. Programme.
The aim of this Congress is to address different lines of
research and work that are grouped into the following topics focused on Africa:
- Sustainable development
- Social movements and resistances
- Art and cultural claims
- Economic and commercial relations
- Governance, peace and human rights
- Conflict and political violence
- International Relations: South-South cooperation, European Union, China
- Anthropological studies
- Demography and Society
- Archaeology and History
- Colonization and decolonization processes
- Health policies
- Education and youth
- Gender and women's empowerment
- Migratory flows
- Innovation and Technology

Africa is open to all those who wish to participate. Communications may be
