Roots Schedule
The Seminar will usually meet on three or four mornings each week, for five consecutive weeks. This schedule is designed to afford participants as much time as they can utilize for the personal research projects they will bring to Charlottesville, while also meeting sufficiently often as a group that they encounter enriching new materials and perspectives relevant to their research, and particularly as they engage one another across the boundaries of their respective regional fields and academic disciplines. No weekend or evening sessions are planned.
Week 1 : “Organization: African Understandings”
Week 2: “More African Meanings”
Week 3 : “Embarkation, Exile”
Week 4 : “ Africa in American Memory and Culture”
Weeks 5: “Research and Trans-Regional Synergies”
