African-descended communities across the globe are suffering effects of political, economic and social inequities whose consequences include alarming levels of disease, unemployment, incarceration, and systemic violence. What institutional, cultural, public policy, and faith-centered responses can be mobilized in response to this state of affairs?\n

The 2015 Transatlantic Roundtable on religion and race aims to focus on the role of faith based organisations, leaders, community activists and others in confronting key issues impacting groups where racial disparities and\/ or racial\/religious conflict are a key feature of community life. Historical and contemporary examples of faith based engagement and activism in the context of dealing with disparities and conflict across Africa and the African Diaspora are welcome. We invite proposals outlining \u201cbest-practices\u201d and practical dimensions as well as conceptual and applied scholarly papers that explore these or related themes.<\/p>\n

<\/p><\/span>\n

Please submit 150-250 word abstracts by Jan. 30, 2015 to Dr. William Ackah (Univ. of London) w.ackah@bbk.ac.uk or Dr. R. Drew Smith (Pittsburgh Theological Seminary) rsmith@pts.edu.<\/span><\/div>\n


The Transatlantic Roundtable on Religion and Race (TRRR) was founded in 2010 with the aim of bringing together scholars, religious leaders and community activists from across the African diaspora and continent to facilitate dialogue, intellectual output, and activism in the cause of improving the lives of people of African descent and heritage around the world. Though TRRR\u2019s approach is scholarly, its commitment is to advancing informed and progressive approaches to persistent racial problems in dialogue and collaboration with broad publics. Our 2015 conference in the United Kingdom will be the fifth TRRR conference, following successful conferences in South Africa (2014), Ghana (2013), United Kingdom (2012), and South Africa (2011).<\/i><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
