UC African Studies MRG

We would like to announce a new blog that grew out of the conference, ”Critical Investigations Into Humanitarianism in Africa,” held in January 2009 with the active collaboration of the UC African Studies MRG.

To view the blog, please go to:

http://humanitarianismafrica.typepad.com/

We invite comments on current submissions as well as your own suggestions and contributions (the latter should be between 500-1200 words) on any aspect of humanitarianism on the African continent.  Submissions can be theoretical or conceptual, policy related, artistically inspired, commentaries on current events, or a combination of any of the above.  We welcome submissions from scholars, NGOs, students, foundations, the media, and others.

We arecurrently running the blog on a shoestring, so we ask your patience while we process submissions and suggestions.

To comment on the posts, click on “Comments” at the end of the post, and

“Add Comment.”

To submit a post, contact either Morgan Kronberger (mkronber@uci.edu) or Guillermo Narváez (gnarvaez@uci.edu).
