Panel 105: Conflicts and Conceptions of African Identities (Oyeniyi Okunoye)

Panel Organizer: Oyeniyi Okunoye

Africa has been a site for contestations over identities in various spheres—religion, politics, culture, ethnicity and racial discourse. Conflicts arising from some these have been devastating while some have been creative. This interdisciplinary panel will focus on the implications of diversity in African identities and associated challenges.
