The National Association of African-American Studies will conduct its annual conference in Baton Rouge in February 2011. The conference is an excellent opportunity for young scholars and students not only to present research on the life issues, but also to connect with colleagues from a wide variety of disciplines and to have their work considered for publication. NAAAS includes several affiliate organizations, such as the International Association of Asian Studies. Details about next year’s conference can be found at http://naaas.org/. Persons interested in submitting a specific proposal on the life issues affecting African American, Asian American, or Native American issues can email JeffKolozePhD@sbcglobal.net directly.
