IV INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS OF ANGOLANISTICS
CALL FOR PAPERS
This year, 2025, marks the half-century of independent Angola. Fifty years of sometimes divergent paths, continuities and ruptures, and almost always difficult choices.
Fifty years doesn’t sound like much, but it was a very rich period in the history of Africa and the world, which saw unpredictable changes in 1975, including the fall of the so-called Eastern Bloc, the transformation of China into a global power, the creation of a European bloc, the strengthening of the African Union and many others.
The Angola Research Network(https://www.angolaresearchnetwork.org/) invites all Angolanists, members and non-members of our Network, to submit proposals for papers and panels for the IV International Congress of Angolanistics, to be held in Lisbon on June 18, 2025 at National Library of Portugal facilities.
The call will be open between January 15 and March 15, 2025.
As usual, the Congress will cover a broad spectrum of interests served by a wide range of perspectives and methodologies from history and the social, political and legal sciences, the humanities, the arts and music, the cultures of the Angolan diaspora and international relations and regional integration (Great Lakes and SADC).
Multidisciplinary proposals, with perspectives that cut across different fields of knowledge, and inter-arts proposals will be particularly welcome.
Those interested should send a reasoned proposal of no more than 250 words, accompanied by a short academic biography (no more than 100 words), email address, if possible, and contact telephone number with WhatsApp.
All correspondence should be sent to the following email address:

Co-organizers: Filipe Santos and Rui Verde
