The Czech Association for African Studies invites scholars, researchers, practitioners, and students to participate in the Viva Africa 2026 Conference, to be held in Prague on 5–6 November 2026.
As global political, social, economic, and epistemic landscapes undergo profound transformations, Africa stands at the center of shifting configurations of power, knowledge, and agency. In the current era of the “changing world order”, Africa plays an increasingly important role in the global arena. Viva Africa Conference 2026 seeks to move beyond reductive frameworks and foreground Africa as a dynamic and pluralistic site of agency, creativity, and contestation. The conference organizers are seeking contributions that critically engage with Africa’s place in today’s world and explore the continent’s internal dynamics across disciplines. The conference aims to foster dialogue between political science, anthropology, sociology, history, development studies, cultural studies, and related fields, encouraging both empirically grounded and theoretically innovative approaches
Deadline for abstract submission: 15 July 2026
