“AFSAAP Annual General Meeting – Nov 27th, 2-4pm

We would like to announce that the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of African Studies Association of Australasia and the Pacific (AFSAAP) will be held on the 27th of November from 2-4PM. AFSAAP is the oldest African studies association in Australia, which has been running since 1978. It is funded by member subscriptions rather than money from outside interests and its main focus is the study of Africa across all academic areas. We welcome new members, new chapters focused on specific discipline areas and those whose work considers developments in Africa as a substantive or partial focus.

The meeting on the 27th will set strategy for the forthcoming year and elect members of the African Studies Executive.

Please note that you will need to be an AFSAAP member to nominate and/or vote at the AGM. You’ll find that our annual membership rates are very reasonably priced (AUD 50 for students, AUD 100 for regular members) so as to encourage participation. Please join or renew your membership here https://afsaap.org.au/join-us/

The positions open for nominations include:
• President
• Vice President
• Treasurer
• Secretary
• ARAS Editor
• Postgraduate Representative
• Ordinary Member
Nominations for these positions must be sent to the Secretariat by the 21st of November.

In addition to these positions, we propose to amend the constitution in order to expand the executive by creating up to three additional roles – an Associate Editor and up to two additional Postgraduate Representatives. We encourage you to email the Secretariat by the 21st of November to express your interest in these positions.

The Annual General Meeting will be held online via Zoom. You can attend by using the details below.
