A Roundtable of Series and Acquisition Editors

https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85053684854
This roundtable is on the nitty gritty of academic book publishing. It complements our usual sessions on “From Dissertation to Book Manuscript” and “Journal Article Publishing.” We are excited that acquisition and series editors from four leading international presses, whose books we are also presenting at the conference, have agreed to participate in this session. They will answer the big question: What do editors look for in a book manuscript? This session serves as a bridge between book writing process, which we regularly teach at the preconference and the final product that we celebrate at the book panels. The roundtable promises to attract early career scholars who are revising their doctoral dissertations into publishable book manuscripts, among other categories of academics looking for credible outlets for their rigorously-researched works.

Launched in 2019, the LSA mentoring program is one step towards creating opportunity for women graduate students to work with established scholars in the humanities and the social sciences. Through regular conversation about professional development opportunities, the mentoring program equips women graduate students with the confidence and skill to develop as strong intellectuals. The senior scholars in the program serve as role model for the graduate students as they develop competent skills for a sustainable productive academic life. In addition to meeting with individual mentees, the mentors had two successful interactive sessions with Nigeria-based women scholars at LSA 2019 and organized two well-attended webinars on sexual harassment in higher education in October 2020.

A Roundtable of Journal Editors
Please click the link below to join the webinar:
https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88306966320
One of the biggest debates in African knowledge production is what constitutes a good journal manuscript. The debate is exacerbated by the expanding gap in resources and professional development opportunities for scholars, especially Africa-based junior academics. This roundtable is designed to help prospective authors with core information about quality research and writing, determining where to send manuscript, and the entire peer-review process.

The workshop will be followed by an open discussion (open to all LSA Conference participants) with the editors of Millennium. This will provide participants with the opportunity to ask the editors questions about the submission and reviewing process, to prepare for submitting a manuscript at Millennium or elsewhere.

Pedagogy of Teaching

Meeting ID: 608 470 4611
There is no gainsaying the fact that the art of teaching is rarely offered as part of curriculum and professional development in many institutions. Yet, colleges and universities expect new and established instructors to “grow on the job,” while providing little to no resources to aid quality teaching. Expanding teaching load, poor resources for effective teaching, and disconnection between research interest and teaching concentration all have a negative impact on quality knowledge dissemination. Many instructors struggle to teach effectively as they grapple with conflicting expectations of how best to impart knowledge. Yet, every component of teaching pedagogy is teachable to both new and established instructors.
Topics for discussion include but not limited to the following:
- Developing a teaching philosophy
- Designing a syllabus: Course objectives and goals
- Reading list and access to teaching materials
- Beyond the Classroom: Designing a travel abroad course
- Virtual teaching and technology
- Classroom management
- Teaching to strengths
- Developing field trip and travel courses

Doing Research in Nigeria:
Reflections on Archival and Fieldwork Experience
Please click the link below to join the webinar:
https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85641859513
Nigeria is one of the most studied countries in Africa. The dense trove of sources on the country continued to motivate scholars to conduct research across multiple disciplinary confines. This roundtable seeks to reflect on the changing landscape of research in Nigeria from scholars at different stages of their career. Panelists will reflect on how they conduct research in Nigeria, their experience on the field and in the archive, how they navigate the cultural and linguistic landscape of their research area, and their relationship with Nigerian academics on the ground. We anticipate discussion about new frontiers in Nigerian studies, how new theoretical perspectives shape data collection and interpretation, and some ethical issues relating to human subject research.

Revising a doctoral thesis into a book is one of the greatest feats that any scholar (especially in North America) can achieve. This process takes an average of six years and requires a lot of mentoring. This interactive session with scholars who have successfully revised their doctoral dissertation into a book promises to unmask the myth and realities of first book publishing.

“This exhibition-format project was an effort to engage with the history of Nigeria’s Railways through the perspective of a visual conversation between past, present and future. It linked the documentation and conservation of Nigeria’s railway heritage infrastructure with how it is used, experienced and imagined today, and how that interacts with contemporary conversations on railway development. This involved bringing up themes of history and identity, personal and official memory, colonialism and independence, ruination and reconstruction, and ways of thinking about and rethinking modernity and imagining pasts and futures. The project was a collaboration between Legacy 1995 and Oxford African Studies Centre, kindly supported by the UK ESRC and Oxford Martin School, and kindly facilitated by the Nigeria Railway Corporation.”

When dealing with the concept of “porosity” or liminality in urban space, one is considering the negative space of construction. Neoliberal global capitalism moves and constructs reality for the benefit of a few at the expense of the majority, changing and exploiting the city and nature. Based on ideals of rational international modernism the spaces it creates are beneficial only to a minority. In this project, we have focused on two cities: Lagos in Nigeria and Jerusalem in Israel that are continents apart, in seemingly completely different contexts. Yet, the political, ethnic exploitation is concurred by the urban economic logic of late capitalism. Building projects used as an excuse to divide, separate and control. The Eko Atlantic project in Lagos is a new extension of the megacity on 10 million square metres of reclaimed land from the Atlantic Ocean which began in 2010. The project is supposedly ecological but will only benefit rich residents and multi-national companies turning into a gated neighbourhood, that will be monitored and guarded with limited access. In Jerusalem, the building of roads, tunnels, walls and fences in the metropolis is a way of diverting and separating the Palestinian residents from the city center, from their lands, unable to commute between neighbourhoods and surrounding villages. Politicised highways that cut the urban landscape giving an ethnic-religious overtone and meaning to the bordering, gating and fencing. Exploring porosity in these two cities focuses on the liminal areas in-between these building projects. Looking at the intermediary spaces that express an alternative stance of culture interaction, communication, experimentation in urban space.
