MIASA Publishing Workshop 2026
March 9 @ 9:00 am – March 10 @ 5:00 pm
The MIASA Publishing Workshop for African scholars, jointly organised by Africa Spectrum (published by the GIGA Institute for African Affairs) and the Contemporary Journal of African Studies (published by the Institute of African Studies at the University of Ghana), will take place on 9 and 10 March 2026 at the University of Ghana in Accra.
Objectives and Workshop Programme
The publishing workshop is designed to provide African scholars with in-depth feedback on advanced research papers with the aim of facilitating their submission to Africa Spectrum, the Contemporary Journal of African Studies, or another suitable journal that centres on the study of Africa. Workshop mentoring will be provided by experienced editors and associate editors of Africa Spectrum and the Contemporary Journal of African Studies.
The editors will share their insights into editorial work to demystify the submission and review processes of both journals and discuss publication strategies with the participants. The workshop will also enable participants to reflect on, discuss, and rethink asymmetries in academic knowledge production on Africa. The two-day programme will combine reflections and plenary discussions with individual feedback and mentoring.
