This conference advances and challenges the newest theoretical scholarship emerging from the interdisciplinary fields of U.S.A.-derived Diaspora Studies and British-derived Trans-Atlantic Studies, as these fields have diverged and converged in relation to the idea of Africa. “The Trans-Atlantic, the Diaspora, and Africa” also showcases African Diasporan creative writers, established and emerging, from Africa, the Caribbean, the U. K., and the U.S. A. for readings in Oxford and London.

Featuring a number of African, British, Caribbean, European, and American intellectuals and creative writers, including such figures as David Anderson, Joan Anim-Addo, Elleke Boehmer, Charles Henry Rowell, Carole Boyce Davies, Thadious Davis, Brent Hayes Edwards, Simon Gikandi, Eddie Glaude, Yusef Komunyakaa, Helene Neveu Kringelbach, Lloyd Pratt, Jean-Paul Rocchi, Marlon Ross, Hortense Spillers, Natasha Trethewey, Stephen Tuck, Ngugi wa Thiong’o, Corey Walker, John Edgar Wideman, Dagmawi Woubshet, and others.
