We welcome proposals for individual papers and panels dealing with these, or with any related topics. We
are also particularly interested in other forms of participation, including workshops, discussion groups,
displays, focus groups, and roundtables.
Over three decades, W.A.S.A. has established a tradition of supporting progressive scholarship. Along
with our keynote speaker, Sunera Thobani, we extend a special welcome to new members and to
community groups interested in contributing to our forum.
