Meeting Description:

The colonial epoch motivated a culture of global crossings which involved
diverse peoples, bodies of knowledge and traditions ushering in the era of
gloablization. Starting from the geo-political terrian, there has since been
massive contacts of languages and cultures, producing an unregimented global
atmosphere of linguistic and cultural hybridity, discursivity and literarity.
Contemporary thought is effectively shaped by this long tradition of global
exchange. In this regard, Africa has co-evolved with other parts of the world
a rich lode of linguistic, cultural and literary relationships that is worth
acknowledging, interrogating and celebrating. In pursuit of the above, the
School of Languages and the Language Centre of the College of Humanities,
University of Ghana, invite proposals for individual papers, panels and poster
sessions for the 3rd School of Languages Conference (SOLCON III), to be held
from 22 - 24 October, 2019 at the University of Ghana, Legon Campus, Accra.
